[EnergyPlus_Support] wind coefficient

["ujjwal.mnit@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While working on a Energy Plus 8.4 model, Windandstackopenarea module was used for introducing natural ventilation in house.

The average value of Air Change per Hour  for  a 3X3X3 m^3 house with 2 windows(east and north) of 0.8 m^2 each came to be  43.67 

After going through the algorithm from source code, it was found that coefficient of wind is taken from 0.55 to 0.3 for relative angles 0 to 180 of wind and window normal with linear interpolation

What should be the range of values for Coefficient of wind to be used for above model ?
