[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Night Ventilation



Matt,

As a means to estimate effectiveness of nighttime ventilation, you could create a ZoneVentilation object that only comes on at the appropriate time (night, summer, etc.) using a schedule and when the outdoor temperature is within a certain range.  The limitation to this is that you'll need to carefully choose the range of dates so that ventilation doesn't cause unecessary daytime heating.  
Hope that helps...
