ventilationenabled
Ventilationenabled is a configuration concept used in building automation, HVAC control software, and simulation models to indicate whether ventilation functions should be active. In practice it is typically represented as a boolean value in configuration files or program logic, for example ventilationenabled: true or ventilationenabled: false.
When ventilationenabled is true, the control system takes responsibility for managing outdoor air supply and exhaust,
Applications for the flag range from commercial and residential building management systems to industrial process controls
Considerations include the trade-off between indoor air quality and energy consumption, the need for reliable sensors
