     I apologize but I don't know the answer to your questions. I am not
    familiar with TRNFlow/COMIS; I use the CONTAM/Type97 option for my

                    I will preface this by mentioning that I am not an
                  expert in the TRNFlow part of Type56. <br>
                  <br>
                    It is a little hard to know what is going on without
                  knowing anything about the building. However, if you
                  have multiple zones in the building, I imagine that
                  there would be some air mixing going on between zones
                  due to internal temperature and height differences and
                  the CO2 concentration would decrease in one zone while
                  increasing in another. <br>
                  <br>
                    I would also recommend looking at the COMIS
                  documentation (COMIS is the engine that underlies
                  TRNFlow) to see whether its algorithms are trying to
                  predict CO2 concentration at a particular point in the
                  space (like we do in Type56 for comfort calculations
                  at a particular point in a zone) or whether it is
                  assuming a fully mixed zone as far as the CO2 level is
                  concerned. If COMIS is calculating concentration at a
                  point and the air continues to mix after your opening
                  factor has gone to zero then that might explain the
                  decrease.<br>
                  <br>
                   Lastly, your mechanical ventilation system might have
                  something to do with the decrease; If you are actively
                  supplying air to the space after the opening factor is
                  zero and if the mechanical ventilation system has some
                  outdoor air associated with it then that also would
                  explain the decrease in CO2 level.<br>
