Dynamic simulation of temperature related window control implementation

The usual simulation follows a fixed schedule. Now, I need to add a window opening sequence controlled by indoor temperature, which simulates a temperature every hour. Then, through a probability model, it determines whether to open the window. After the window status is determined, the next calculation begins, and the operation is repeated until the calculation is completed. Is this operation feasible in GH?

Hi @joeblack

You can implement such an algorithm below

The idea is to make a schedule based on whatever you need, based on the data before the simulation. But if you are interested in having some control signal based on the result of a simulation timestep, you need to apply an EMS method. This needs to be added to the simulation engine as a string like below. For a complete description of EMS, you need find this link

This is part of a simulation to make some operable windows based on CO2 concentration, zone operative temperature, wind speed, and site drybulb temperature
