Daniel, I think this would be theoreticaly possible, but fraught with some difficulties. A key one is that your HVAC system is probably designed to operate independently of operable windows, and vice versa. To do what you propose you really need to make sure that they'll play nice together and actually deliver the 30% difference. This may take some complicated work. And is that really how the system will be used?
