Airflow between two floors

Dear Sir,

I am now simulating a two storeys building, and I have a staircase connects between the storey. I draw a hole on the ceiling and assume this as the staircase. In my simulation, how do I know (proof) that there is interaction between these 2 storey?
Because I set up different temperature setting and activities schedules for each storey.

Thanks,
Rahmi

Hi Rahmi,

You can modify your .idf file and run the simulation in energyplus to get the output of airflow through holes etc.

I refer you here to an earlier discussion on the subject of airflow through holes where I posted some details of which report variables you will need.
