I'm back in the office on 3 Jan. drop me a mail then.

Dear Jean 

Thank you so much for your helping hand and useful information. 

I have installed the Beta version, however, I don't know how to work with inter zone airflow object.

May have the honor to talk with you online ? 

Best Regards 

Hooman

This will be much easier to model with DesignBuilder v5.2. Download the BETA in the mean time. There is a new tool to assign volume flow from target zone to target zone.

On a side note: CO2 is not the only parameter for ventilation. Diluting moisture and other VOCs is just as important.

Dear Friends

My final master's thesis in architectural technology is about the effect of using plants in the cavity of a double skin facade in which indoor air circulates in in the cavity and by photosynthesis of some special plants, indoor CO2 concentration will come into lower levels and therefore, demand for fresh air will be decreased. 

Even though I have developed mathematical models in which it demonstrates such a facade's capacity to purify indoor air, but my professors suggested to make a simulation to evaluate different aspects such as:

1- effects of plants' photosynthesis on indoor CO2 reduction and thus ventilation 

2- effect of those plants on thermal conditions

3- effect of excessive humidity in the cavity on DSF behavior 

I have already tried to model this in design builder, however, it didn't give concrete results. The idea is that we push indoor air from bellow part of the interior side of the double skin facade into the cavity and pull it back to the room from upside part. 

Do you know what shall I really do ? Is this possible in design Energy plus or design builder ? 

Cheers, Hooman  Write a message...
