TREAT allows only one fan space making it necessary to combine all fans into one. Is correct representation of actual ventilation possible?
You may model complex ventilation system with Treat if you define each space that have unique mechanical ventilation rate / schedule separately. For example, building corridors are ventilated 24 hr/day. There are also exhaust fans in each bathroom. To model mechanical ventilation in the building you need to split the building into three spaces: space that represents the portion of the building with no mechanical ventilation (whole building minus bathrooms and corridors), all corridors with mechanical ventilation, and all bathrooms. Then you may enter two fans: one for corridors and one for bathrooms. Note that each fan may serve more than one space. Combining spaces and fans allow very flexible input of mechanical ventilation. Remember that you have to accurately allocate floor area, walls and windows to each space.
