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?
