[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Modelling Opening Shopfronts

Hi,
Thanks for your advise. 
I have also use economiser to emulate the situation. I think using economiser is better as you can control the 'air flow' by setting up temperature range but infiltration is either constant or a function of windspeed.

The foldaway fenestrations is open when the outside temperature is, say, between 18°C to 28°C and wind speed is, say, less than 3m/s. And when the fenestration is open the HVAC in the three metre deep perimeter zone is turned off. I think this is a common mode of operation of cafes in Australia.
