Control Energy plus using Python API

Hi, We are creating a simulation using energy plus Natural ventilation. Can we control the settings of natural ventilation for the space using Python API?

Hi, this is widely documented in the energyplus documentation. To start you can refer to the "Running energyplus as a library" page: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc...

The python API has also a documentation website with all the available functions. https://nrel.github.io/EnergyPlus/api...

For your case, you can specifically find if the setting you want to change is listed as an actuator in the first website I listed. Actuators can overwrite a value during simulation time.
