Is it possible to control the opening and closing of windows/doors in energy plus?

For instance, say i want to open the window by a small fraction and simulate the the effect of airflow into a given zone and see how it affects the cooling rate in a zone(i.e. if the dry bulb temperature is less than the indoor temperature) and also see the cross effect across other zones. Is it possible to create an object that can control the opening and closing of the windows/doors by a setting fraction (or at least fully open or fully closed)?
