Jerry K's profile - activity

Also, am I correct that the stack coefficient should be in (L/s)^2/(m^4·K) as opposed to (L/s)^2/(cm^4·K) as is found in the ASHRAE tables? When I use the coefficient converted to meters to the fourth power, my air changes per hour seem to make sense.

The object within Openstudio doesn't specify what units to use for the coefficients, so I'm a bit unsure what is to be inserted.

Ok, I got my model to run now with an infiltration leakage area. I assigned my effective leakage object to specific spaces (not space types) using the facility tab (not the space types tab as I have been previously assigning my design flow rate infiltrations.)

No, just one effective leakage area object.

My library doesn't come with a default leakage object, so I haven't added one by that method.

Thanks for looking into this, David. I'll keep trying to figure out what's going wrong.

I found this to be a helpful page for learning Open Studio:

Yes, the space is part of a thermal zone.

Also, I have no trouble creating an infiltration object using design flow rates.

Hello,

I am finding that I am not able to define infiltration by Effective Leakage Area in Openstudio. When I attempt to do so, I receive in error regarding my zone infiltration object reading: Field [Zone Name] is required but was left blank.

I believe the error might be telling me to define the Effective Leakage Area to a thermal zone? I do not see an option or way to do so.

I am adding my effective leakage area using the inspector within the Sketchup interface, assigning a space where requested, and filling in the rest of the fields.

Thanks!
