Air velocity in Airflow-network
Greetings everyone,
I am currently modelling a residential house with an airflow-network set-up for natural ventilation in energyplus. I am using the adaptive thermal comfort standards to evaluate the various design strategies.
The velocity field can be input from a schedule which i'm planning to control using EMS.
My question is : What is the right sensor for zone air velocity in an AFN?
Should i mix some sensors and create a formula in EMS for this ? IF so what is recommended?
Thanking you in advance, Jevin
Are you talking about using the room air models with AirflowNetwork, or something else?
Greetings Sir,
I didn't use the room air models with the airflow network. Simple set-up and airflow network and using the AFN node temperatures as reference temperatures for the comfort estimations.
Then I'm a little confused about the "velocity field" you mention. Are you talking about the air velocity schedule in the People object documented here
Kind of . I created a thermal comfort for my needs from an onsite survey. I'm using the EMS to report the number of hours where comfort is reached but the parameter is depended on various air velocities. According to the documentation this is a user input value through a schedule.
I don't know if i'm right but i'm guessing that without a mechanical fan these values should be low but i would just like to know if there's actually a way to get a value from energyplus in an Aiflownetwork .
