Standard Temperature and Pressure[LINK]

Several objects specify inputs at “standard temperature and pressure”. Standard Temperature is dry air at 20oC drybulb. The program uses local barometric pressure to account for altitude using the equation for “standard atmospheric” pressure on p 6.1 of the ASHRAE 1997 HOF (SI edition) to initialize the air systems being simulated.

Stdpressure=101325(1.0Z2.255775)5.2559

where

StdPressure = pressure {Pa}

Z = altitude/elevation {m}
