How is air movement modelled in EnergyPlus and what are typical values?

This is based on another user's question. It has has since been deleted but I think it's worth answering anyway.

Air velocity is a required input for thermal comfort calculations but I'm not clear on how it is entered in EnergyPlus. What type of objects need to be included?

Also, what would typical values be in a domestic situation? I'm looking for references, typical values based on engineering experience (rules of thumb), or ways of measuring/estimating air velocity in existing buildings.
