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><span style='font-style:italic'>undefined"</span></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></span></font></p>
