I think there's such a large difference in computational intensity
(?) between DOE-2 (or any simulation program that models a thermal
zone as a single node) and CFD that coupling the two together does
not make sense to me, even if it could be done. I think you're much
better off looking into coupling DOE-2 to a multi-zone air-flow
program like CONTAM or COMIS. Even then, you have to exchange data
back and forth at each time step, since air flows and zone air
temperatures are so interconnected. I spent more than a year in
coupling EnergyPlus to COMIS back in 200-2002.<br>
It would probably be easier to do in DOE-2 SYSTEMS, but would still
require changes to the source code to call the airflow program at
each time step. Not trivial and not a "work around". Thoughts from
others would be welcomed.<br>

ventiation's impaction on building energy.However,nature
ventilation feature has many restrictions in eQUEST.So I
consider coupling DOE2 with CFD software such as fluent to
analysis the energy saving potential of nature ventilation.Any
suggestion?</p>
