[Equest-users] Modelling Parking Garage Exhaust Combined with Jet Fans

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear All,

In a building with 6 underground parking storeys, air is exhausted 
through a shaft and a single fan, while outside air is brought in 
through natural flows on another shaft. This is achieved by jet fans 
operating in each parking garage. The exhaust fan is variable speed 
controlled by CO sensors in the parking areas.

Q1: How can I assign 6 underground zones to a single exhaust fan? As far 
as I know, exhaust flows are assigned on a zone basis in eQuest?
Q2: How to model the speed variation of the exhaust fan? Any other way 
other than using schedules?
Q3: Can eQuest model the airflows caused by jet fans? Or should I just 
assign these as electric loads so that their electric consumption is 
taken into account?

Thank you,
