Infiltration Heating load
I am trying to model in OpenStudio a building with only one thermal zone with the assumption that I will have a constant air infiltration rate of 0.5 ach.
However, the results obtained do not seem very logical to me. It should have a heating thermal load due to infiltrations of the order of 700 W and in the results I get about 35 W.
What is wrong?
I model the filtration according with the following image
Next I create a fractional sechedule set always to 1
After run the simulation I obtain the following results

Did you look at the outdoor temperature and wind speed during this peak time (since infiltration is heavily influenced by both)?
I thought I forced the value 0,5 to be constant if I set the schedule always to 1. Whats the best way to supply a constant rate of outdoor air to the thermal zone?
Ah, I didn't notice that you had set the coefficients in such a way as to obtain a constant infiltration rate.
