Design considerations for naturally ventilated buildings

Author

Listed:
  • Awbi, H.B.

Abstract

This paper discusses the parameters which should be considered in designing natural ventilation systems and presents a procedure for calculating the air flow rate due to wind and buoyancy. Examples are given of systems using solar-induced ventilation which could have applications in ventilating commercial buildings.
