Innovative Devices for Daylighting and Natural Ventilation in Architecture [PDF]
, 2012 It is known that every human activity is better carried out in the presence of natural light than in the absence of it. This is probably due to the comfortable feeling of the occupants respect to the perception of the flowing of time, which is impossible when artificial lamps are the only light sources in the environment.

Natural ventilation strategies for cooling purposes in the rural vernacular architecture of Cyprus [PDF]
RE&PQJ, 2017 The reuse of vernacular dwellings is a sustainable approach, not only because it leaves a small ecological footprint, as opposed to the construction of new buildings, but also because the passive bioclimatic design features of vernacular buildings result in better indoor thermal comfort and in the reduction of energy consumption.

A Conceptual Architectural Design Process For Ventilation In Built Environment
MEGARON / Yıldız Technical University, Faculty of Architecture E-Journal, 2020 Built environments affect other environments according to their properties and relations. Wrong / inadequate decisions in design stage may cause many adverse effects. One of the important aspects of built environments is air related properties. In the light of regenerative design, which sees built environment as a new and organized bridge effectuating ...

Application of Breathing Architectural Members to the Natural Ventilation of a Passive Solar House [PDF]
Energies, 2016 The efficient operation of a passive solar house requires an efficient ventilation system to prevent the loss of energy and provide the required ventilation rates. This paper proposes the use of “breathing architectural members” (BAMs) as passive natural ventilation devices to achieve much improved ventilation and insulation performance compared to ...
