“…They demonstrated that their model can be effectively implemented in an existing whole-building energy modeling tool (i.e., EnergyPlus); however, they assumed a constant wind velocity of 6.7 m/s (15 mile per hour) for all building types and neglected variations in surrounding terrain in their models. Whitehead and Frisque [5] employed a new method, called limiting area method (LAM), to estimate air infiltration through a building entryway using a multi-node airflow analysis tool. In their method, they did not consider factors such as: airflow pattern around buildings, local terrain, and frequency of door openings.…”
