<p>Archsim is a multi-zone simulation program for Rhino3D using Grasshopper3D algorithmic modeling. Archsim can simulate natural ventilation in 3 different modes.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1. Scheduled<br>
2. Simple wind and stack equations<br>
3. Airflow network</p>
<p><br>

<p>The first option is great for coupling Archsim with other tools that return a schedule of air-changes in hourly format. Just link this schedule in the zone settings under the ventilation tab or specify a fixed air change rate.This model does not model airflow
from zone to zone.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The second option uses simple formulas explained on the slides below. This model is extremely robust – especially for buoyancy driven flow. Wind driven flow always assumes an ideal exhaust and basically simulates cross-ventilation – even if you only model
one window – this can easily lead to overestimation of the wind driven ventilation potential. This model does not model airflow from zone to zone.</p>

<p>The third option is the airflow network. It provides the possibility to model natural ventilation and more complicated airflow paths through the building. Thus, this is the preferred option – however – it might slow down your simulations.</p>
