Assessing Multizone Airflow Simulation Software
Several standard multizone modeling programs, in order to improve their computational efficiency, make a number of simplifying assumptions. This paper examines how those assumptions reduce the solution times and memory use of the programs, but at the cost of restricting the models they can express. Applications where these restrictions may adversely affect the program’s usefulness include: (1) ...
متن کاملValidation of a Coupled Multizone and CFD Program for Building Airflow and Contaminant Transport Simulations
Current multizone airflow network models assume air momentum effects, contaminant concentrations and air temperatures are uniformly and homogeneously distributed in a zone of a building. These assumptions can cause errors for zones where air and/or contaminant are not well mixed. A coupled multizone-CFD program has been developed to improve the multizone model by applying a CFD model to those p...
متن کاملAirflow Network Modeling in EnergyPlus
The airflow network model in EnergyPlus provides the ability to simulate multizone wind-driven airflows. The model is also able to simulate the impacts of forced air distribution systems, including supply and return air leaks. The air distribution system portion of the model is currently applicable for constant-air-volume systems. Future enhancements will include adding hybrid ventilation contr...
متن کاملUsing Coupled Energy, Airflow and IAQ Software (TRNSYS/CONTAM) to Evaluate Building Ventilation Strategies.
Building energy analysis tools are available in many forms that provide the ability to address a broad spectrum of energy-related issues in various combinations. Often these tools operate in isolation from one another, making it difficult to evaluate the interactions between related phenomena and interacting systems, forcing oversimplified assumptions to be made about various phenomena that cou...
متن کاملEmpirical Validation of Building Energy Simulation Software: Energyplus
This paper compares the results from a study conducted at Iowa Energy Center’s Energy Resource Station with EnergyPlus simulation results. The building consists of controlled test rooms, dedicated air handling units and air-cooled chillers for the purpose of obtaining quality data suitable for empirical validation studies. Weather data were also collected at the facility and used for the simula...
