Multi Zone
A multi zone network air flow model is more complex than a single zone
model. The building is divided up into a number of single zones where internal
pressures and temperatures are distinct from one another, separated by internal
partitions. This type of model is applicable to commercial and multi story
buildings in which floor space is divided up into separate rooms.
Figure 2: Multi zone air flow paths, (Liddament, 1996)
Figure 7 shows the various types of input data needed to satisfy the air flow
models (mass balance) and the thermal models (heat balance) and the feedback
links that simulations may use to integrate the two models.

thermal and air flow models, (AIVC Guide 5, 2002)
