Natural Cross-ventilation of Buildings, An Experimental Study

open access: yesEnergy 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.

Prediction of flow and dispersion in cross–ventilated buildings [PDF]

open access: yesE3S 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.
