Look at ZoneCapacitanceMultiplier:ResearchSpecial under the Simulation Parameters group.

Jason is correct that co-simulation will provide a more general approach that allows you to directly incorporate filters

Please tell me how to transition my test IDF to be compatible with this version.

I'm porting co-simulation between EnergyPlus and CONTAM from Windows to Linux. When EnergyPlus extracts the FMU, the file permissions are not maintained. Executable permissions are removed from both the contamx.exe executable and the ContamFMU.so shared object file located in the binaries/linux64 folder of the FMU.

I receive the following error:

sh: 1: tmp-fmus/ContamFMU.fmu_ContamFMU/binaries/linux64/contamx3.exe: Permission denied

If I simply extract the files from the FMU directly, permissions are retained.

I am assuming there is some linux setting I've not set correctly, but I am no linux expert. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 in a VirtualBox.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This measure can now be downloaded using OS version 1.12.2 +.

You could use CONTAM to perform simulations to determine infiltration rates using the leakage rate obtained from the blower door test. Further, you can adjust the wind speed modifier based on terrain. NIST provides another tool to export the CONTAM infiltration results to a related EnergyPlus model to populate the ZoneInfiltration:DesignFlowRate object and schedule it to adjust infiltration based on the CONTAM results. You can verify blower door results within the CONTAM model with the Building Pressurization Test mode of the program.

I realize that this adds another tool to your simulation workflow, but if you know you will use this method before you create your E+ model, then you can generate the E+ IDF file from the CONTAM project.
