hello everybody,
i want to use in my building both natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. in the HVAC tab i think its only possible to regulate the ventilation acoording to schedules. in my builing i want to use the natural ventilation for base load. on very warm days i want to add mechanical ventilation to maintain the temperature.
is this possible to simulate?

Hello,

You could set a Natural Ventilation setpoint and Cooling setpoint in the Activity tab.

I think you can reach your goal by setting the natural ventilation setpoint to 24° (for example) and cooling setpoint to 27° (again for example).
Activate natural ventilation and cooling by adequate schedules and your simulation will try first to keep the temperature under 24° by natural ventilation and then under 27° by cooling means.

Hope it will run.
Regards,
