Abstract

The infiltration term in the building energy balance equation is one of the least understood and most difficult model. There are numerous airflow models; however, these are not combined with whole building energy simulation programs that are in common use in North America. This paper describes a simple multizone nodal airflow model integrated with the SUNREL whole building energy simulation program.
