What I have been doing with OpenStudio is I created a script to import either a ZoneVentilation:DesignFlowRate or ZoneVentilation:WindandStackOpenArea object with arguments for the thermal zone, schedule, etc. for any inputs I want as variables. You could create this script using the Measure Writing Guide (http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/measures/measure_writing_guide/) for EnergyPlus measures or copy one from the BCL and modify to fit your measure needs. There is also a AvailabilityManager:HybridVentilation object I have not tried yet but may be worth looking into as well to import as a measure.
