Dear @chris,

I am currently doing an overheating study for a naturally ventilated Passive House building according to CIBSE TM59, which says that windows should be modelled as open when the indoor temperature is above 22C and the space is occupied.

It also allows you to model interior doors as open during the daytime.

Therefore, I would need two independent opening algorithms; one for the windows and one for the interior doors. Is this currently possible with HB / OpenStudio?

I have built a simple example of this scenario and have implemented your above code for the door, but I’ve noticed that there is no argument for specifying an opening algorithm. Instead, this is done at the room level with WindowOpen and VentControl components.

I have also noticed that I can’t query the outputs related to natural ventilation that you mentioned here. For example, there is no “Zone Ventilation Current Density Volume”; there is a “System Node Current Density Volume Flow Rate” in the rdd but no data attached to it:
