Hi..

Natural Ventilation (passive) and HVAC (active) are two major methods of ventilating the building. I have couple of questions about these two.

1. If natural ventilation is active (open window), does the HVAC system still operate in Energy Plus simulation?

2. Suppose my dual thermostat setpoint temperature is set at 20C for heating and cooling. My outdoor temperature is 15 C and my window is open. To maintain my thermostat temperature, my HVAC system needs to operate. Which Output:Variable should I use to calculate the heating load required to maintain my zone temperature at 20 C?

Thanks..
