An AFMETER object is a user-defined "device" that records zone air flows as simulated by CSE. The user defines AFMETERs and assigns them to zones (see ZONE znAFMtr).

Air flow is recorded in standard air cfm (density 0.075 lb/ft3) at subhour, hour, day, month, and year durations. Flows are categorized according to IZXFER izAFCat.

Note that *only* AirNet flows are recorded.

Name of meter: required for assigning energy uses to the meter elsewhere.
Indicates the end of the meter definition. Alternatively, the end of the meter definition can be indicated by the declaration of another object or by END.
Choice indicating air flow category used *only* for recording air flow results to an AFMETER. izAFCat has no effect for non-AIRNET IZXFERs. izAFCat is not used unless the associated ZONE(s) specify znAFMtr.
Default values for izAFCat are generally adequate *except* that natural ventilation IZXFERs are by default categorized as infiltration. It is thus recommended that izAfCat be omitted except that ventilation IZXFERs (e.g. representing openable windows) should include izAfCat=VentEx (or VentIz).
Wind speed modifier factor. The weather file wind speed is multiplied by this factor to yield a local wind speed for use in infiltration and convection models.

Name of AFMETER object, if any, to which zone AirNet air flows are recorded. *ZnAFMtr* defines a pressure boundary for accounting purposes. Multiple zones having the same AFMETER are treated as a single volume -- interzone flows within that volume are not recorded. For example, to obtain "building total" flow data, a common AFMETER could be assigned to several conditioned zones but not to adjacent unconditioned zones such as attic spaces.
