Implementing NIST infiltration correlations

Abstract

This tutorial is a guide on how to implement the NIST infiltration correlations (Ng et al., 2021) into EnergyPlus building energy simulation software for the US Department of Energy prototype commercial buildings. The implementation can also be generalized to other building energy simulation software and other building models.

A worksheet is available for download here (https://doi.org/10.18434/mds2-2598) [21] that contains the NIST infiltration correlations for eleven buildings in eight cities, for both levels of airtightness and for system-on and system-off conditions.…”
