Introduction of air infiltration and ventilation in a simple modelling for energy consumption estimation in air conditioned buildings.

Author(s) : MORISOT O., MARCHIO D., ORPHELIN M.

Summary

The model applies to air conditioned non-residential buildings and is developed to need few inputs. Existing air infiltration models are compared and three equivalent leakage area (ELA) databases are tested on the same case study. Calculations of air input through opened doors are made to compare flows due to air infiltration and due to natural ventilation. It appears that the impact of air infiltration variation is not negligible in winter. Concerning mechanical ventilation, this study reports on taking into consideration "fresh air flow" in the model.
