Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Getting Wind pressure coefficients from E+ (SurfaceAverageCalculation)

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe they are shown in the .eio file and described in
the Output Details document.

Hello all,

In the AFN model, I have the following inputs:

MultizoneWithoutDistribution,  !- AirflowNetwork Control
SurfaceAverageCalculation,  !- Wind Pressure Coefficient Type
LowRise,                 !- Building Type

Building shape is Rectangular.

My question is:
As in this case, E+ is calculating the wind pressure coefficients (I think they will be averaged value for every surface?), so can these coefficients be obtained as output? and how? Is there any output variable available for it, which I am not aware of?

Thank you!

Dear all,

I want to get the pressure coefficient values by CFD simulation and put them as an input for e+ simulation.

As I know, the pressure coefficient values are changing with wind speed. so I wonder which speed should I use for wind in CFD simulation to get the pressure coefficient values?

Is it necessary to put these values in e+ simulations for all building facades?

Is it enough to put these values in e+ just for 2 wind directions?
