Natural Ventilation of Buildings: From Fluid Mechanics to Architectural Design Guidance
Over the last two decades, natural ventilation of buildings has rapidly established itself as a viable low-energy alternative to air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation systems. With careful design, natural ventilation has the capacity to reduce the energy expenditure of buildings and can provide a comfortable indoor environment for occupants ...

L’architettura come sistema di differenze
There are many cases in which the “direction” of architecture seems to be indifferent to the architect who designs it. Among these, the Guggenheim Museum in New York by Frank Lloyd Wright is highly emblematic: through the long and troubled project’s ...

Clinical implication of monitoring regional ventilation using electrical impedance tomography
Mechanical ventilation can initiate ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) and contribute to the development of multiple organ dysfunction. Although a lung protective strategy limiting both tidal volume and plateau pressure reduces VALI, uneven ...
