[EnergyPlus_Support] Pet peeve - Natural Ventilation and Infiltration - AFN





Dear Forum,
Does anyone know of a good paper where the methodologies of modelling using the energyplus Air Flow Network (AFN) are set out?

http://ibpsa-boston.com/minutes/IBPSAboston-presentations_2011-09-16_Gowri.pdf
is a great resource for "simple methode" infiltration, but I have not found anything similar for AFN.

I believe minute for minute timesteps and dynamic opening and closing schedules would need to be created for all operatable doors and windows, probably based on stoistic methods in combination with advanced occupancy modelling and environmental factors (indoor and outdoor) monitoring to influence how the occupants interact with the operable windows and doors.

Has anyone else (except me) tried this?

Jean
