Hi All. I'm trying to build a model with a night-time cooling via the facade (Heat that has accumulated day-time is discharged outside of the building at night by means of windows - electrical or normally opened).So I create an infiltration schedule: in the "winter" dayrule I insert normal infiltration value (about 0,3 ACH 24h, or the standard value by percentage of external wall) and the in "summer" day-rule I edit the curve by a factor of ten-twelve times to simulate night-time window opening. After running simulation, I obtain the same infiltration curves both in summer and winter period, what may be going wrong? My impression is that the problem is in the "default" rule, that block the other rules...If so, what I have to put on the default rule? winter, summer or average values?. Thanks in advance!
