[EnergyPlus_Support] night ventilation of mass

[Ery Mailing-List <ery.mailinglist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I tried to do night flush by using zone ventilation object. Using this object the airflow is controlled by the zone air temperature and outside air temperature. What I found is that in many cases the airflow is shut-off because the zone air temperature is low, but the surface temperature is still higher. I would like the thermal mass to be flushed until the surface temperature is low enough.

I want the airflow to be controlled by the surface temperature rather than zone air temperature. Is there a way to do this, other than trial and error by lowering the zone temperature?

Thanks,

Ery
