[TRNSYS-users] modeling a passiv haus

[David Bradley]

Christophe,
   In addition to Michaël's suggestion, there are two other ways that 
ASHRAE has suggested in the past to estimate infiltration. One is a method 
called "K1,K2,K3" from about 1987. The form is:

infiltration rate = K1 + K2*(Tin-Tamb) + K3*WindSpeed

K1,K2,K3 is not widely used anymore because it gives quite a high 
estimation of infiltration rate but is integrated into Type19 but is also 
available as a stand alone Type in TESS Type571 in the Utility Library. The 
other alternative that ASHRAE currently suggests is called the "Sherman 
Grimsrud" method. We implemented this method as well and I would be happy 
to send it to you if you would like. I am planning to post it as a free 
component on our website but haven't gotten to do so yet.
Kind regards,
  David
