How to model mechanical fans in microflo?

Post by iggleton »

I'm trying to model a prison which has mechanical ventilation fans and no air-conditioning. Can this be modelled in microflo?

I haven't used microflo before, however, I do believe that it would consider the system you build on ApacheHVAC (correct me if wrong)

Can you create a sketch of the system? By sketch, I mean how the fans rooms together look like, where is the air coming from etc.

Depending on how the system is there are different ways in which we can approach this problem.
