Calculating total energy gain/loss due to ventilation air
I am trying to find out how much of a building's heating or cooling loads are due to ventilation air. Is there a specific variable, meter or summary report for this? if not, are the following variables:
- Air System Outdoor Air Mechanical Ventilation Requested Mass Flow Rate
- Zone Air Temperature
- Site Outdoor Air Drybulb Temperature
the correct ones to use with with good old ṁ x Cp x dT?
Thanks.
What EnergyPlus object are you using to model ventilation?
@Scott I'm using Design Specification Outdoor Air to model mechanical ventilation for the MediumOffice building. Any pointers to appropriate documentation?
