The ZoneInfiltration:* and ZoneVentilation:* objects use outdoor current density to convert from volume flow to mass flow. So, for example, you will obtain a constant flow rate for your object if you use this calculation:

Flow Rate [m3/s] = (Infiltration Mass Flow Rate [kg/s]) / (Environment:Site Outdoor Air Density [kg/m3])

The ZoneInfiltration:* and ZoneVentilation:* objects use outdoor current density to convert from volume flow to mass flow. So, for example, you will obtain a constant flow rate for your object if you use this calculation:

Flow Rate [m3/s] = (Infiltration (Ventilation Mass Flow Rate [kg/s]) / (Environment:Site Outdoor Air Density [kg/m3])
