PREDICTING THE PRESSURE REGIMES AND INDOOR-OUTDOOR AIR-EXCHANGE IN A MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Panagiota Karava, Andreas Athienitis, James Reardon, Ted Stathopoulos

Abstract: This paper is part of a research project aiming to model the impact of air leakage on pressure regimes, resultant air movement and energy use in high-rise residential buildings using an advanced energy and airflow simulation tool: ESP-r. Simplified simulations for small sections of the building for which experimental data are available are carried out first. Results are also presented for the second stage of the research-transient whole building simulation.
