This section presents a simple, single-zone approach !to calculating air infiltration rates in houses based on the AIM-2 model !(Walker and Wilson 1998). The airflow rate due to infiltration is !calculated using: ! Qs = c * Cs * DeltaT^n (41) ! Qw = c * Cw (sU)^2n (42) ! where: Qs = stack airflow rate, m3s ! Qw = wind airflow rate, m3/s ! c = flow coefficient, m3/(s/Pa^n) ! Cs = stack coefficient, (Pa/K)^n ! Cw = wind coefficient, (Pa-s^2/m^2)^n ! s = shelter factor ! Several assumptions made when calculating Cs, Cw, s ! including: n = 0.67 ! Equation (39) then describes superposition for the total infiltration rate: !

  4. Ventilation Components & Schedules Building America House Simulation Protocol, pg 16: “Additional air exchange whole-house mechanical ventilation shall be calculated assuming a single point exhaust ventilation system with the same ventilation rate used for the NCTH, up to a maximum value consistent with the rate recommended by ASHRAE 62.2. Whole-house mechanical ventilation air shall be added to the natural infiltration rate in quadrature, assuming no heat recovery. Ventilation fan energy use for the Benchmark shall be calculated using a fan efficiency of 0.5 W/cfm. In addition to whole-house ventilation, the Benchmark shall include a kitchen range hood, spot ventilation fan in each bathroom, and exhaust from the clothes dryer. The flow rates of the kitchen and bathroom fans shall be the same as those in the NCTH, and their efficiency shall be assumed to operate 60 min/day (between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm), and each bathroom fan (including those in central restrooms) is assumed to operate 60 minutes per day (between 7:00 am and 8:00 am). The clothes dryer fan will operate for 60 minutes per day between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. Interactive effects between these spot exhaust ventilation fans and natural infiltration shall be included in the analysis.” Single-Family Infiltration & Ventilation Modeling 25 May 2011

  5. ASHRAE 62.2 Ventilation Requirements ASHRAE 62.2-2003, Section 4.1: “A mechanical exhaust system, supply system, or combination thereof shall be installed for each dwelling unit to provide whole-building ventilation with outdoor air each hour at no less than the rate specified in Table 4.1a and Table 4.1b, or, equivalently, Equations 4.1a and 4.1b, based on the floor area of the conditioned space and number of bedrooms.” Qfan = fan flow rate in L/s; Afloor = floor area in m2; Nbr = number of bedrooms For Nbr = 3, Afloor = 222 m2 (2400 ft2): Qfan = 25.1 L/s = 0.025 m3/s = 54 cfm Single-Family Infiltration & Ventilation Modeling 25 May 2011

  14. Modeling Results –NatVent This report variable represents the sensible heating energy in Joules that is actually supplied by the system to that zone for the timestep reported. This is the sensible heating rate multipled by the simulation timestep. “Zone/Sys Sensible Heating (and Cooling) Energy all report the heating or cooling delivered by the HVAC system to a zone. These values are calculated by multiplying the supply air mass flow rate by the difference between the supply air temperature and the zone air temperature. This does not always indicate the operation of heating or cooling coils. For example, cooling will be reported if the supply air is cooled due to the introduction of outside air, event if all coils are off.” I/O pg. 168 Single-Family Infiltration & Ventilation Modeling 25 May 2011
