There is a "virtual window" in the TRNBuild window libraries that
you can use. Defining the airflow that occurs through such windows
is not obvious and is best done by coupling your TRNSYS simulation
with either a TRNFlow/COMIS simulation or with a CONTAM simulation.<br>
kind regards,<br>

trying to model a Reed House the problem is that the house has no
real windows (with frames and glazing) it has only openings for
natural lighting and ventilation (see attached photos). The
Building is basically not 100% closed.
<br>
The question is whether to define these openings as windows, if
yes how to define the windows' properties and if not how to
calculate the ventilation and solar gains.

thanks a lot
