Deconstruct an Infiltration object into its constituient properties.

## Inputs

* **infil \[Required]**

  An Infiltration object to be deconstructed. 

## Outputs

* **name**

  Text string for the infiltration display name. 
* **flow\_per\_ext\_area**

  A numerical value for the intensity of infiltration in m3/s per square meter of exterior surface area. Typical values for this property are as follows (note all values are at typical building pressures of \~4 Pa):

  * 0.0001 (m3/s per m2 facade) - Tight building
  * 0.0003 (m3/s per m2 facade) - Average building
  * 0.0006 (m3/s per m2 facade) - Leaky building
* **schedule**

  A fractional schedule for the infiltration over the course of the year. The fractional values will get multiplied by the flow\_per\_exterior\_area to yield a complete infiltration profile.
