Effect ofOpening SizeonWind-Driven Cross Ventilation
The International Journal of Integrated Engineering, 2021 The opening size is important to the ventilation of building because various opening sizes affects the ventilation performance for building. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the effect of opening size on indoor airflow characteristics of naturally ventilated building model.

Prediction of flow and dispersion in cross–ventilated buildings [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The present paper presents a detailed computational analysis of flow and dispersion in a generic isolated single–zone buildings. First, a grid generation strategy is discussed, that is inspired by a previous computational analysis and a grid independence study.

Natural Cross-ventilation of Buildings, An Experimental Study
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractNatural cross ventilation can be a promising passive solution for summer thermal comfort in buildings. It takes advantage of the night temperature of the air to cool the walls of the building. Although this technique is well-known in hot climate, its use in new buildings requires being able to predict the quantity of heat that can be dissipated.

A two-zone model for natural cross-ventilation [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2015 Cross-ventilation flows (CV) are characterized by significant inflow momentum conservation as fluid flows across an enclosed rectangular volume as a confined jet. When the inflow area is smaller than the volume cross-sectional area the CV flow has distinct jet and recirculation flow regions.

Fudo: An East Asian Notion of Climate and Sustainability
Buildings, 2013 My paper discusses an East Asian notion of climate and its significance for sustainability. A particular reference is the environmental philosophy of Tetsuro Watsuji (1889–1960), a Japanese philosopher who reflected upon the meaning of climate, or “fudo”

Public toilets with insufficient ventilation present high cross infection risk
Scientific Reports, 2021 Due to insufficient ventilation, public toilets present high risks for cross-infection. The study investigated 61 public toilets to identify the causes and locations of biological contaminated sources. Airborne and surface bacterial contamination, carbon
