What are the solutions for modeling natural ventilation in summer?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to model a window opening in the summer. From what I have observed, the existing solutions seem to be primarily designed for natural ventilation in winter (for example, AirflowNetwork_Multizone_HorizontalOpening.idf). The only solution I have identified is to adapt the model (EMSAirflowNetworkOpeningControlByHumidity.idf), which requires me to define a ventilation network. Do you see any other solutions?

Regards, Simon
