<p>Hi,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have some issues about determining infiltration and
ventilation rates of a residential building.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am modeling a single-family residential building in TRNSYS
using Type 56. I have divided it into four thermal zones: 1) basement 2) main
floor, including two zones, and 3) Attic. I am going to satisfy building
heating and cooling loads by the usage of an AHU system. So, to estimate the
capacity of the system, firstly, I need to determine the rates of infiltration
and ventilation of the building.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To determine the minimum ventilation rate in each thermal
zone:<span></span></p>

Ashrae standard 62.2 or Ashrae standard 62.1? I mean:   Q(cfm) = <b>0.03</b>*building
area+<b>7.5</b>*number of people [Ashrae<b> 62.2</b>]  or  
Q(cfm) = <b>0.06</b>*building area+<b>5</b>*number of people [Ashrae<b> 62.1</b>]<span></span></p>

ventilation rate of each thermal zone individually? Or they are only applied to
determine the ventilation rate of the whole-building.<span></span></p>

exhausted rates of bathroom(s) and restroom(s)? or do I have to add the exhausted

airtightness is known, how can I specify the value of infiltration rate of each

determine building infiltration rate, called: 1) basic and 2) enhanced models,
which are suitable for single zone buildings. Given my
building consists of 4 thermal zones, Am I permitted to use these methods to
