Hi Peter,

For SBEM method then it's done per room, you can enter Air Permeability on the Building Regs tab of Room Data

I have had a similar problem - I have upgraded a building from IES 2013 to 2014. The infiltration rate under "VE Compliance (UK & Ireland" ApacheSim-compliance was previously located under "Building Data - Set Building & System Data" tab, where you could input your desired infiltration rate. Now there are options of "Side-Lit and Unlit Spaces" and "Top-lit metal clad spaces" although i have manually changed these figures and simulated the infiltration rate is 1.23 m3/(h.m2)?

Can you confirm how to set the infiltration rate in a simple 1-10 m3/h.m2 as previously under IES 2013?

This is a known issue in VE 2014 and it will be addressed in the soon to be released Hotfix 1.
