In IESVE there is a module called "MacroFlo" which allows the user to define specific external openings as operable windows, or even holes (useful for louvered openings). You can further specify openable area, a profile allowing the degree of opening to be specified as a function of time, threshold temperature which allows the window opening to be controlled on the basis of room temperature, as well as other features. This data is then used in the annual energy simulation module, and can easily be turned on or off as necessary.
