kinetic facade with efficiency ventilation- which plugin?

Hi Moein , 

my Master's case study needed to evaluate the thermal & ventilation performance of a certain kinetic facade which was designed by another architect. So I used the honeybee energy simulation to get the zones temperature & ventilation rate, As I had no choices to evaluate the natural ventilation " there was no butterfly plugin yet  ". So I depended on the ventilation rate by the facade movement and the amount of air needed inside the building's zones every hour to optimize the best facade movement every hour of the day.   

I hope that can help you, but I'm pretty sure that butterfly can help you more.

Thank you to your answer Mona

I have a request to you

can you put here your algorithm??

I want to read that to find my solution...

thanks a lot..

Moein,

You need to clarify what do you mean by "efficiency natural ventilation analysis".

Generally speaking if you need to see the effect of geometry changes on the airflow inside the space you better of using CFD simulation.
