IZXFER is the building block input for an Airnet. There will be many IZXFERs in an input file, each representing a single air transfer object (leak, vent, window, fan, duct leak). Each IZXFER needs a unique name if detailed reports on its activity are needed. IZXFER is a command at the same level as HOLIDAY.
MATERIAL, CONSTRUCTION, METER, ZONE and REPORT which means that it can be located anywhere except inside another object (like a zone).
The main objects in the Airnet are:
•Window ventilation
•IAQ ventilation
•Mechanical cooling ventilation
•Duct leakage
Units are ft2.
CBECC inputs to add for Airnet:
|
WinHHTop |
Head height of the highest windows in the zone. Used to get the vertical location of the window ventilation holes. In the development program this was done on a building wide basis: #define WnHeadHeight 7.67 // Average head height above the floor of operable windows |
|
Ventilation Height Difference |
This rule needs to be changed to refer to Zone instead of Building: "The default assumption for the proposed design is 2 feet for one story buildings and 8 feet for two or more stories. Greater height differences may be used with special ventilation features such as high, operable clerestory windows. In this case, the height difference entered by the user is the height between the average center height of the lower operable windows and the average center height of the upper operable windows. Such features shall be fully documented on the building plans and noted in the Special Features Inspection Checklist of the CF-1R." (2008 RACM pp 3-9) |
|
Floor Height |
The height of each floor over outdoors, crawl or garage is needed to set the Z dimension of the hole in the floor. |
|
Soffit height |
The height of the attic floor. Probably can be determined by the height of the ceiling below attic. Trouble for Split level? |
|
Interzone Door |
May need input for whether an interzone door exists between each 2 conditioned zones. Assuming it for now. |
|
ReturnRegister |
The conditioned zone(s) where the return/exhaust register is located. Make this an input on the HVAC System Data screen |
•The window scheme doesn't work for 3 story zones!!!
•The Econ and NightBreeze cooling ventilation systems are multizone and use ducts. I suggest we set them up as part of the duct system.
|
ACH50 |
7.6 (Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals pressure difference that leak through the envelope of the conditioned zones) |
|
Avent |
1/300 (ratio of "free area of attic vents to AceilGross) |
|
Fraction High |
0.3 (fraction of the attic vent area located in the upper part of the attic, check precise definition) |
1. Infiltration Setup. Infiltration is uncontrolled air leakage through the cracks and intentional vents in the building. The first step is to determine the total size of the openings and then distribute them over the conditioned zones in proportion to surface areas.
It is modeled in a single conditioned zones with 8 holes (IZXFERs) to represent the leakage in vertical walls and 1 hole each in the floor and ceiling.
Calculate:
a. For conditioned zones the total Effective Leakage Area ELAtot = CFA*ACH50/(2*10000) (CFA is conditioned floor area)
b. Determine Envelope Areas
1. ExCeiltotSF =sum (AceilGross + area of exterior ceilings) (exterior ceilings are surfaces in conditioned zones of type ceiling whose outside condition is Ambient, Ignore Knee walls for infiltration (walls between the conditioned zone and the attic)
2. ExWalltotSF =sum (Gross Area of Exterior Walls) (walls in conditioned zones whose outside condition is Ambient)
3. ExFloortotSF =sum (Gross Area of Exterior floors) (floors in conditioned zones whose outside condition is Ambient, Crawl or GROUND)
4. ExFloorSlabSF =sum (Gross Area of Exterior slab on grade floors) (slab on grade floors in conditioned zones)
5. SlabRatio =ExFloorSlabSF/ExFloortotSF
6. GaragetotSF =sum (Gross Area of Surfaces to Garage) (walls and floors in conditioned zones whose outside condition is Garage)
c. Determine leakage distribution:
1. ELAceilsf = ELAtot* (.4+.1*SlabRatio)/( AceilGross + area of exterior ceilings)
2. ELAraisedFloorsf = ELAtot* (.2* 1-SlabRatio)/( ExFloortotSF-ExFloorSlabSF)
#If there is a garage zone
3. ELAGaragesf = ELAtot* 0.1/GaragetotSF
4. ELAwallsf = ELAtot* (.3 + .1*SlabRatio)/ExWalltotSF
#Else
3. ELAGaragesf = 0
4. ELAwallsf = ELAtot* (.4 + .1*SlabRatio)/ExWalltotSF
#endif
2. Cooling Ventilation Setup: Four types: Windows only (all types have windows for some part of the year), Whole house fan, Smart Vent, NightBreeze
Set up seasonal window control
#if Smart Vent or NightBreeze //Windows are on in Winter, but off in summer when mechanical ventilation is on
#redefine Windowmode select( @weather.taDbAvg07 >60., 0.00001,default 1.)
#define VentDiffMult select( @top.tDbOSh < (@znRes[Single].prior.S.tAir-VentDiff), 1,default 0.000001) //Vent off if Tin-Vendiff > Tout
#Else //everything but Econ and NightBreeeze Windows are on year round
#reDefine Windowmode 1. //Always available
#Define VentDiff 0 // Differential. No differential for windows or WWF
// multiplier for window and whole house fan vent availability, .00001 is proxy for Off Revised to start at dawn end at 11 PM.
#redefine Win_hr select( $hour < 24, select($radDiff <1., select($hour>12,1.0, default .00001 ), default 1.0 ), default .00001 )
3. Airnet for Each Conditioned Zone:
a. Calculate

ELA_Xceil(zone) = ELAceilsf * (AEdge(zone) + area of exterior ceilings(zone)) //AEdge is determined in the Ceiling Surface setup BAW 120517
ELAXwall(zone) = ELAwallsf * Gross Area of Exterior Walls(zone)
ELAGwall(zone) = ELAGaragesf * Gross Area of walls and floors next to the Garage(zone)
ELAfloor(zone) = ELAraisedFloorsf * AreaExtfloor(zone) (gross area of floors whose outside condition is Ambient, Crawl)
ZoneBotZ = Bottom(zone) - height of the lowest floor in the zone
ZoneTopZ = ZoneBotZ + FloortoFloor(zone)*NumofStories(zone)
ZoneHeightZ = ZoneTopZ - ZoneBotZ
WinHHTop = ZoneBotZ + FloortoFloor(zone)*(NumofStories(zone)-1) + Window head height
b. Exteror wall of conditioned zones infiltration objects Calculate height of bottom and top holes.
// All infiltration leaks in walls are assumed to be spread uniformly over the exposed wall surfaces areas. There are no LEAKS associated with windows, doors etc.
//8 Wall Holes in each zone to Outdoors 1 upwind, 2 side walls, 1 downwind. Sidewalls are identical so combine them into 1 hole with 2*area
