Huh?

ZoneInfiltration:DesignFlowRate,
... snip...
  A4 , \field Design Flow Rate Calculation Method
       \note The entered calculation method
is used to create the maximum amount of infiltration
       \note for this set of
attributes
       \note Choices: Flow/Zone =>
Design Flow Rate -- simply enter Design Flow Rate
       \note Flow/Area => Flow per Zone
Floor Area - Value * Floor Area (zone) = Design Flow Rate
       \note Flow/ExteriorArea => Flow
per Exterior Surface Area - Value * Exterior Surface Area (zone) = Design
Flow Rate
       \note Flow/ExteriorWallArea =>
Flow per Exterior Surface Area - Value * Exterior Wall Surface Area
(zone) = Design Flow Rate
       \note AirChanges/Hour => Air
Changes per Hour - Value * Floor Volume (zone) adjusted for m3/s = Design
Volume Flow Rate

Flow/ExteriorWallArea?????
