I wanted to know the quickest and most effective way to model a ceiling fan in Openstudio. The fan only displaces air in the zone and does not bring it from outdoors. If possible I would like a fan for which you can choose the air displacement (linked to the size of the blades).
Since your fan doesn't bring air from outdoors, or an other zone, it's effect may be limited to two things: - the fan's motor adds some internal thermal gain - air velocity is increased in the zone, which may be relevant if you examine comfort. By default, e+ uses constant 0.137 m/s for PMV/PPD, you may increase air velocity by creating your own Air Velocity Schedule in the IDF file if you care about comfort.
