It's unclear whether you're using OpenStudio exclusively or just to generate the IDF for EnergyPlus, but here are some suggestions from the OS perspective.


ZoneMixing

ZoneMixing is not currently supported by OS through the GUI but is available through the API via an OpenStudio Measure. ZoneMixing objects could be added to your OSM prior to using one of the steps below for the AFN.


Airflow Network

As of OpenStudio 1.9.0, the EnergyPlus Airflow Network model is not supported. Two options for adding it to your model:

  1. Write an EnergyPlus Measure to add the AFN objects to your model after OS translates the model to IDF.

  2. Move to EnergyPlus to add Airflow Network objects by using the out.idf file produced by OS, which is available in the OSM directory at ...\run\4-EnergyPlusPreProcess-0.
