<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>I am working with Design Builder
and trying to run simulations for a building using natural ventilation. While
building the model, I introduced custom openings on the external façade. </span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>I ran two simulations using only
natural ventilation. One with all windows closed and the other with 80% open. I
input this setting in the ‘Operation’ slider bar within the ‘Openings’ tab. I
was expecting the operative temperature to increase when the windows were
closed. But both simulations had the same results. </span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>I am not sure if there is way to
model to openings. The ‘Operation’ option was available only under the Internal
windows menu and not for the external window. </span><span style='font-size:
