Multi-zone Network Airflow Model Calibration Process and Verification

Abstract

The multi-zone network model enables the easy and fast prediction of the airflow inside the building, ventilation performance. However, when the virtual building performance is predicted by using simulation, there may be a distinct difference between the two. Therefore, the input parameters of building need to be entered correctly in order to ensure that the phenomenon inside the building in the most similar situation. Thus, the calibration for the parameter is required. In this study, the air-tightness was measured for some elements as well as the whole building, to evaluate the accuracy in order to verify the calibration process.
