Description

Add an input to allow use of EnergyPlus's Airflow Network as an alternative model for duct losses, infiltration, and/or mechanical ventilation. Might have to limit certain features (e.g. CFIS) when using this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing inputs and modeling paths for duct losses, infiltration, and mechanical ventilation, then compare them with EnergyPlus's Airflow Network requirements. Determine which features, including CFIS, would be incompatible and define the input's expected behavior before implementation; done means the alternative model works for supported cases and restricted features are handled.
