[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Information on human traffic behaviour in buildings

[David Goldwasser <david.f.goldwasser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe not what you are looking for but I saw this pedestrian traffic simulation software at a convention, and thought an energy model would be the ideal tool for initial input. The software is designed to look at general flow but I expect is generally used to look at egress speed and where bottle necks are. It would of course require additional geometry data beyond what is in the IDF, But having occupancy and schedules for any time of day would be a great start.
