[EnergyPlus_Support] Air infiltration high traffic entrance doors



Hi all,

i am trying to run a simulation for a store in which i d like to calculate the air infiltration, heat gain and losses through entrance door due to the number of people per hour through it.

i have a schedule of people traffic per hour and the area of the door but i m not sure how i can imput the above.

it is my understanding that by using zone ventilation windandstack open area i won t be able to calculate since it requires the opening area fraction in regards to max opening area of the door.

i have tried to work it out in time so for example to open and close it will take 10 sec when just one person went through it so by mupltyply this by the number of people in and  out i have a total open time per hour but the result of the simulation were wrong.

any suggestion anybody?
