This will help, thank you!

I was wondering if it was possible to assign two different shading controls to the same window.

In my case, I would like to add a blind when the window is exposed to high solar radiation during the day and a roller shutter during night.

Are multiple shading controls for one window possible? I was wondering if it was possible to assign two different shadin

In the case of a simulation in OpenStudio of a dwelling with local PV electricity production, is there a way to define the use of the HVAC system, not only by a set of temperatures, but also by the local electricity production? For example, during noon (where PV production is higher), in the winter, using the HVAC to a higher setpoint temperature in order to "save" some energy in the buildings thermal mass and increase PV self consumption.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.

(Note: I have thought of using Thermostat Schedules and, for the example that I gave, simply increase the set temperature for noon time in the winter, but one flaw of this method is the risk of putting the set point temperature high in days where PV production is lower (for example, cloudy days), thus using grid elecricity to warm the house and failing to increase PV self consumption, which is one of the main objectives)

I do see the value in going foward with option 2, but since I have very little experience in programming (I use OpenStud
