Hello all,
I am attempting to create a forcing function for air-flow rate in a simulation. I want to use low air-velocity with no night ventilation over the winter months, and higher air-flow rate during the summer days and low air flow rate during summer nights. So what I am trying to achieve is not a start and stop (ON, OFF) situation for the whole cycle. For example:
0-2160 hrs (winter)
07:00 -18:00 (200 m³/hr) Day ventilation (ON, OFF) 18:00 -07:00 (0 m³/hr) Night ventilation
2161-6552hrs (Summer);
07:00-18:00 (1000 m³/hr) (ON continuously at different air flow rate) 18:00-07:00 (200 m³/hr)
6552 – 8760hrs
07:00 -18:00 (200 m³/hr) Day ventilation (ON, OFF) 18:00 -07:00 (0 m³/hr) Night ventilation
Any suggestions on how best to schedule such forcing function?
