Natural Ventilation and Energy Consumption
1980The energy consumption of dwellings will be partly due to heat transmission through the external walls, roof and floor and partly due to infiltration of outside air. The infiltration of dwellings depends on wind velocity, wind direction, temperature difference between inside and outside, the form of the building and its situation, the openings in the ...

Natural Ventilation in Residential Subdivisions
Earth & Space 2006, 2006Indoor and outdoor natural ventilation conditions of low-rise housing in small-lot residential subdivisions are strongly influenced by surrounding buildings. To account for the influence of surrounding buildings, the wind tunnel model must include sufficient surrounding buildings to yield reliable indoor and outdoor natural ventilation data.

THE FLUID MECHANICS OF NATURAL VENTILATION
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1999▪ Abstract  Natural ventilation of buildings is the flow generated by temperature differences and by the wind. The governing feature of this flow is the exchange between an interior space and the external ambient. Although the wind may often appear to be the dominant driving mechanism, in many circumstances temperature variations play a controlling ...

Computational study of natural ventilation
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1999Abstract The object of the present work is to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to study the ventilation properties for a room with different opening configurations. The finite volume method is used to solve the basic equations of mass and momentum conservation in the primitive form together with the two-equation turbulence model.

Fractal nature of regional ventilation distribution
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2000High-resolution measurements of pulmonary perfusion reveal substantial spatial heterogeneity that is fractally distributed. This observation led to the hypothesis that the vascular tree is the principal determinant of regional blood flow. Recent studies using aerosol deposition show similar ventilation heterogeneity that is closely correlated with ...

Strategies for natural ventilation of residential
2011 International Conference on Electric Information and Control Engineering, 2011This paper refers to the meaning and purpose of natural ventilation, and the ways of improvement of the effect of natural ventilation in the design stages of construction. Solutions to several trouble spots on natural ventilation are discussed.

Architectural design on natural ventilation
2011 International Conference on Multimedia Technology, 2011Buildings should be designed with controllable natural ventilation. In this paper, the author puts forward a set of architecture designing process based on analyzing the purpose and strategy, in order to use the design strategy of natural ventilation not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.

Design Procedures for Natural Ventilation
2016The paper gives an overview of the design process for natural ventilation. It concentrates on the technical procedures that are available to the designer. The overall process is discussed in terms of four stages. For the first stage, the factors that determine the feasibility or otherwise of natural ventilation are outlined.

Design of Natural Ventilation with CFD
2007As the previous chapter demonstrated, if a building is properly designed, natural ventilation can provide both a comfortable and healthy indoor environment as well as energy savings. Most architects and designers know about the principles of passive solar heating and can indicate how they desire small buildings to also take advantage of natural ...
