Re: [TRNSYS-users] airchange between zones
Alex,
When you define an ADJACENT wall (or floor/ceiling) between two zones
you have the ability to define a coupling air flow rate from each to the
other. You can set the flow rate as a constant, as a scheduled value, or
as an input. Type56 leaves it to you to determine how much air flows
back and forth between the zones.
The most correct way of determining the quantity of airflow is to use
an airflow modeling tool such as TRNFlow or Type97/CONTAM.
It is hard to answer your second question. The answer depends on what
metrics you are looking at. For instance, I would be surprised to see
the loads of the building change by 10% based on 1 zone or 2. However,
if you are looking at consumption of energy by an HVAC system then it is
possible, especially if you are using a single thermostat to control the
system.
kind regards,
David

Hi
I have a doubt when i modeling a single family building with two floors,
how i can connect the airchange between of two zones (first floor and
second floor)
another doubt is:
Firstly i simulated the two floors us one zones, but now i simulate the
buildign us two zones, the results of heating differ 2% respec of one
zone building and differ cooling 10%, it is normally?
regards
Alex
