Can OpenStudio take account of energy movement within the building
e.g to assess the effectiveness of installing a front door lobby or restricting airflow between the floors.
@Clivus what simulation tool are you using? Please mention it in the title or body of your post, as well as add a tag so that others can provide better help.
I'm not using anything yet. I want to know if openstudio meets my needs before I install it.
@Clivus thanks for confirming that you're asking about the OpenStudio application. In the future, you can mention "OpenStudio" in your post's title and/or body, as well as add the
openstudio-applicationtag, so that others can provide better help (I've already updated this post accordingly).Ok. I see what you mean now. Thanks.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you want to look at conductive transfer between two zones then you can set a surface boundary condition for each surface pointing to the the surface in the adjacent surface. In this case it looks like you want to look at air exchange between zones. For that you would want to add zone ventilation rate objects to the model to define airflow between zones. You would also want to look at impact of entries on zone infiltration values.
