Role of multi-zone models in indoor air flow and air quality analyses.

Summary

Multi-zone models generally take into account: mechanical ventilation, tightness of buildings, and terrain, shielding and climate conditions. The output of these models include air flow rates across the envelopes, between the rooms and through the mechanical ventilation system. A multi-zone model is used to illustrate the potential of the multi-zone modelling in indoor air flow and air quality analyses. Leakage, or infiltration, or opening, can result in modification of air flow rate, and thus, in air quality. An example calculation in a 13-room building shows that infiltration considerably influences indoor air flow pattern.
