[TRNSYS-users] Infiltration clarification

Say I want to simulate a passive house in TRNSYS using type 56. For an
airtight building shell, passive house infiltration should be say ≤ 0.6 ACH
@ 50 pascal pressure.
(http://www.passivehouse.us/passiveHouse/PassiveHouseInfo.html)

The type 56 TRNBLD units for infiltration; are they at static or at 50 pa?
If they are at static, I need to divide 0.6 by ~ 20 (estimate from Sherman
1987), so I input Airchange = 0.03 1/hr. Correct?

Cheers,

Marcus
