AddNaturalVentilationWithHybridControl
Add natural ventilation with hybrid control
This measure adds natural ventilation to all the zones with operable windows, and controls natural ventilation together with HVAC in a hybrid manner. More specifically, HVAC will be disabled when windows are open, and HVAC will be available when windows are closed.
This measures adds ZoneVentilation:WindandStackOpenArea objects to zones with operable windwos to model natural ventilation, then adds AvailabilityManager:HybridVentilation to each zone with natural ventilation and control HVAC and natural ventilation in a hybrid manner. When windows are open, HVAC will be disabled; when windows are closed, HVAC will be available. HVAC can be an airloop system or a zonal system.
open_area_fraction
Window Open Area Fraction (0-1)
A typical operable window does not open fully. The actual opening area in a zone is the product of the area of operable windows and the open area fraction schedule. Default 50% open.

delta_temp
Minimum Indoor-Outdoor Temperature Difference (degC)
This is the temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor air dry-bulb temperatures below which ventilation is shutoff. For example, a delta temperature of 2 degC means ventilation is available if the outside air temperature is at least 2 degC cooler than the zone air temperature. Values can be negative.

max_wind_speed
Maximum Wind Speed (m/s)
This is the wind speed above which ventilation is shut off. The default values assume windows are closed when wind is above a gentle breeze to avoid blowing around papers in the space.
