Interface Fan

Represents a ventilation component in the building that is not a HRV/ERV and is not attached to the mechanical system.

For EnerGuide: Depending on the whole_house status the fan gets categorized under the ventilation and influences the ventilation heat loss. For F280: Takes part in the AIM2 model in conjunction with the main ventilation, HRV/ERV, and air leakage.
