[esp-r] Re: Control of air volume

Dear Achim and everyone,

 Thank you for your response.

 As you said, I'm using an air flow network and an air flow network 
control.
 I chose on/off control method in my model.
 In on/off control, we should input a setpoint, action and fraction.
 I think fraction means effective opening areas. 
 Is it possible to control air flow based on air volume instead of 
effective opening areas? 
 
 Best regards,

 Wakana Matsumoto

Did you add a flow network? If yes, and if the ventilation is to be "
natural", then you will likely want to control an opening? E.g. open or 
close a window? There are several possible approaches to this. If you 
really do want to have "hourly" changes (when using an air flow network, 
time steps of an hour may lead to problems), the best approach may be 
using a TDF file. The alternative is to set up a standard "air flow 
network control" via ProjectManager. This is a very similar procedure to 
setting up (thermal) zone control.
