The application of natural ventilation of residential architecture in the integrated design [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2017 As one of the important parts in the architecture design, ventilation fully reflects one important factor of energy conservation to some extent. To ensure that decreasing use of energy resources to the maximum extent in architectures and make architectures harmonize with their surroundings, which have become important pursuing gradually for residential

Nosocomial Coronavirus Disease 2019 during 2020-2021: Role of Architecture and Ventilation. [PDF]
Healthcare (Basel), 2023 Nosocomial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major airborne health threat for inpatients. Architecture and ventilation are key elements to prevent nosocomial COVID-19 (NC), but real-life data are challenging to collect. We aimed to retrospectively assess the impact of the type of ventilation and the ratio of single/double rooms on the risk of NC

Clay pots of Ottoman Architecture: Acoustics, structure and ventilation [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2020 Clay pottery is a multi-functional application whose acoustical, structural and ventilative employment is widespread in Anatolia. They are also observed in the significant number of structures that belong to the Ottoman Architecture some of which were designed by Sinan, the architect laureate of Ottoman Empire.

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.
