[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Report about ventilation flows

["lisacng" <lisa.ng@xxxxxxxx>]

Use Output:Variable,*,Zone Infiltration Mass,HOURLY; to get infiltration from each zone in kg. Divide by output time step (not simulation time step) in sec to get kg/(unit time step). You can divide by density to get m3/(unit time step).

Use Output:Variable,*,Zone Mechanical Ventilation Volume Flow Rate Current Density,Hourly; to get the hourly averaged mech vent to each zone.

Are you using airflow network and want the flow through each opening? You can read the Input Output Reference pdf under Airflow Network on guidance for this.

Hope this helps!
