AIrflowNetwork - set up a limit for ventilation

Hello!

I used the AirflowNetwork objects to simulate a naturally ventilated Greenhouse. First results are in and everything works fine appart from the fact that I cannot seem to limit the maximum ventilation rate. At some points I get infiltration air change rates of 136 1/h. I would like to limit the air change rates to a maximum of 30. Is that possible? Should I do it via schedule or another object? In the objects that I've used the only defineable upper limit that I could find is the Enthalpy difference. I don't really know if control through enthalpy is the right way?

Thanks in advance!
