Outlines principles behind a program for calculating air flow in buildings. The generally accepted method for these calculations is Kirchoff's network equations, of which the "knot method" and the "loop method" are alternatives. The program uses a mixture of both, in an attempt to keep the intermingling of the equations to be solved on a low level. Presents results of calculations on a 50-room example, in which it was the purpose to demonstrate the possibility of using the program for discussion of ventilating system fluctuations.
