Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Window Opening Schedule



There are two approaches to modeling airflow from windows and doors.

The simple approach uses VENTILATION and INFILTRATION objects.

The more complex approach uses AIRFLOWNETWORK objects.  The specific object 
which controls window and door opening is AIRFLOWNETWORK:MULTIZONE:ZONE and/or  
AIRFLOWNETWORK:MULTIZONE:SURFACE.  Set "Ventilation Control Mode"=CONSTANT, and 
use the "Venting Availability Schedule Name" to control whether the opening 
(window or door) is open (sched value = 1) or closed (sched value = 0).  
"Window/Door Opening Factor, or Crack Factor" controls how much the window/door 
is opened.
