<p class="MsoNormal">While working on LEED Equest simulations I find that in an effort to simplify I end up deleting the P-Inf and C-Inf Infiltration Schedules all of the time and end just use "<i>undefined"</i> to simulate a constant infiltration rate. I
was curious to know if anyone uses the actual Infiltrations schedules, to emulate winds and or building pressurization, and if so do you typically achieve more energy savings, and do you find it worth the extra effort?<o:p></o:p></p>
