[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Modeling single-side natural ventilation

["JPE" <spincycle45@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David -- Thank you for your response.

By "outside pressure node", are you referring to creating an External Node (under AirflowNetwork:MultiZone) for each window?

I understand that EnergyPlus does not like to do bi-directional flow through horizontal openings (E+ In/Output Reference, p.939) so I figured to try subdividing the larger windows into multiple horizontal stacking windows.  Doing so (theoretically) each window could have a uni-directional airflow, either in or out of the zone.

Using this methodology my model now consists of two window groups, each with five horizontal windows stacked above one another.

Thoughts?

Cheers -- James
