natural ventilation openstudio
I am comparing the performance of two envelopes. However, when modeling natural ventilation, the windows open and close 350-400 hours per year depending on the envelope to maintain the temperature range specified. I was originally planning to compare the zone operative temperature of the two different envelope. With natural ventilation object in place within the model, the ventilation object is opening and closing the windows to regulate the temperature. This totally changes the direction of study. Instead of comparing the zone operative temperature of two envelopes, I am having to compare opening hours of windows to regulate the specified indoor air temperature. Could anyone please guide me on how to model the natural ventilation so that I still can compare the zone operative temperature instead of natural ventilation opening hours?
