Several models have been developed to study the airflow pattern and thermal distribution in buildings. This paper describes the development of a zonal model that may be incorporated into existing building energy analysis programs. The modeling is detailed in three applications describing how such a model can be simply applied. The model predictions were then compared with measurements and/or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model prediction.
