Contributions summary:Dragan primarily contributed to the EnergyPlus whole building energy simulation program by adding demand response capabilities for ventilation. They implemented ventilation control via fixed rate and reduction ratio methods, incorporating these features into the existing DemandManager module and modifying the MixedAir component to integrate with the new functionality. The code changes involved modifying and adding source code in existing files.
