Check out NREL's SUNREL (formerly SERI-RES) for modeling advanced
passive energy features such as rock bins, phase change materials, and
advanced infiltration/natural ventilation algorithms. There are some
papers published by NREL regarding the natural ventilation/infiltration
schemes - (Google SUNREL & PDF). The SUNREL engine is an multizone
hourly energy modeling program that accepts TMY annual weather files
and can calculate the hourly heating and cooling loads. The SUNREL
engine inputs takes ascii text input files. - It's a powerful
residential energy modeling engine. <br>
<br>
DISCLAIMER - the company I work for, Performance Systems Development,
has developed the only commercial front end for SUN-REL that I am aware
of - the software is called "TREAT". Check out <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.treatsoftware.com">www.treatsoftware.com</a>
for functionality. <br>
<br>
<br>
Have fun - Chris<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am interested in
comments and recommendations as to which energy simulation programs
would be most appropriate for modeling passive solar buildings (heating
especially, but I’m interested in passive cooling/ventilation too). I
would really appreciate any references to technical papers or case
studies that deal with this topic too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
