Saif,
  There is a "virtual window" in the TRNBuild window libraries that you 
can use. Defining the airflow that occurs through such windows is not 
obvious and is best done by coupling your TRNSYS simulation with either 
a TRNFlow/COMIS simulation or with a CONTAM simulation.
kind regards,
  David
