    It seems to me there are two distinctly different sources of
    "infiltration" through a revolving door - <br>
    (1) leakage through the cracks and imperfect seals<br>
    (2) bulk air exchange when the door is used and acts like a piston
    bringing in Pi*(r2/4)*ht  volume of outdoor air and exhausting the
    same of indoor air. <br>
    <br>
    The relative importance of the 2 depends entirely on how much the
    revolving door is being used. <br>
    It might be interesting to do some back-of-the-envelope calculations
    to see. <br>

            <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:blue;">I have also
                referred ASHARE 90.1 and have found that the swinging

          <div>

            <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Microsoft YaHei UI",sans-serif;color:#444444;">My client
                requires to do a thermal simulation for a two-story
                atrium/staircase to check if the cooling system is
                required for it. The atrium has a revolving door, which
                revolves once every 30 minutes, and the swing door opens
                for 30 minutes every 8 hours for shift change. My
                question is how to simulate the revolving door and swing
                door in eQuest? I noticed that ASHRAE 90.1-2010
                mentioned the infiltration from these two types of doors
                is 1.0 cfm/ft2 tested at a pressure of at least 1.57
                pounds per square foot (psf), but I do not quite
                understand what this means and how to use this number in
                my model. If any one has an idea, please give the
