[EnergyPlus_Support] Question about AirFlowNetwork in EnergyPlus

Dear EnergyPlus users,

I am a phD student dealing with natural and hybrid ventilation in 
office buildings.

I have two specific questions about the relation between the airflow 
model and the windows and shading devices in EnergyPlus:

1)	Each opening object is associated, if I well understand, to a 
window or a door defined in the zone object. My question is: when a 
window is partially opened, is the solar gain entering the zone 
calculated according to this? I mean, is it considered that in the 
opened part there is actually no glass?

2)	When a shading device is specified the window can be partially 
shaded by it. Is it possible to specify that the window should not be 
completely opened, but that the maximum opening corresponds to the 
unshaded area?

Thank you very much in advance for your answers or comments!
