[TRNSYS-users] infiltration rate

Wang,
When you use TRNFlow, you are allowing Type56 to compute interzonal air
flow rates based on the external environmental conditions that you are
imposing (from a weather file for example). I suppose that you would
have to tune either the environmental conditions or the amount of
openings in your building envelope so that you get an infiltration rate
(calculated by TRNFlow) that approximates the value that you measured
(0.53 ach/h)
regards,
David
