This object is used to provide advanced thermal comfort control of window opening and closing for both exterior and interior windows.

Name
Type: alphanumeric
Enter the name where the advanced thermal comfort control is required.

Minimum Opening Time
Type: real number
Unit: minutes
Minimum: 0.0
Default: 0.0

Minimum Closing Time
Type: real number
Unit: minutes
Minimum: 0.0
Default: 0.0

Thermal Comfort Low Temperature Curve Name
Type: list of objects (CURVE:QUARTIC, CURVE:EXPONENTIALDECAY, CURVE:DOUBLEEXPONENTIALDECAY, CURVE:FUNCTIONAL:PRESSUREDROP, CURVE:SIGMOID, CURVE:RECTANGULARHYPERBOLA1, CURVE:CUBIC, CURVE:QUADRATIC, CURVE:EXPONENTIALSKEWNORMAL, CURVE:LINEAR, TABLE:LOOKUP, CURVE:RECTANGULARHYPERBOLA2 or CURVE:EXPONENT)
Enter a curve name that represents thermal comfort temperature as a function of outdoor dry-bulb temperature. Up to two curves are allowed if the performance cannot be represented by a single curve. The following two fields are used if two curves are required.

Thermal Comfort Temperature Boundary Point
Type: real number
This point is used to allow separate low and high thermal comfort temperature curves. If a single performance curve is used, leave this field blank.
Unit: C
Minimum: 0.0
Default: 10.0

Thermal Comfort High Temperature Curve Name
Type: list of objects (CURVE:QUARTIC, CURVE:EXPONENTIALDECAY, CURVE:DOUBLEEXPONENTIALDECAY, CURVE:FUNCTIONAL:PRESSUREDROP, CURVE:SIGMOID, CURVE:RECTANGULARHYPERBOLA1, CURVE:CUBIC, CURVE:QUADRATIC, CURVE:EXPONENTIALSKEWNORMAL, CURVE:LINEAR, TABLE:LOOKUP, CURVE:RECTANGULARHYPERBOLA2 or CURVE:EXPONENT)
Enter a curve name that represents thermal comfort temperature as a function of outdoor dry-bulb temperature. Up to two curves are allowed if the performance cannot be represented by a single curve. If a single performance curve is used, leave this field blank.

Maximum Threshold for Persons Dissatisfied PPD
Type: real number
Unit: percent
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 100
Default: 10.0

Occupancy Check
Type: choice (Yes or No)
If Yes, occupancy check will be performed as part of the opening probability check.
Default: No

Opening Probability Schedule Name
Type: list of objects (SCHEDULE:FILE, EXTERNALINTERFACE:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:YEAR, EXTERNALINTERFACE:FUNCTIONALMOCKUPUNITIMPORT:TO:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:CONSTANT or SCHEDULE:COMPACT)
If this field is blank, the opening probability check is bypassed and opening is true.

Closing Probability Schedule Name
Type: list of objects (SCHEDULE:FILE, EXTERNALINTERFACE:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:YEAR, EXTERNALINTERFACE:FUNCTIONALMOCKUPUNITIMPORT:TO:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:CONSTANT or SCHEDULE:COMPACT)
If this field is blank, the closing probability check is bypassed and closing is true.
