Natural Ventilation of Buildings
Natural ventilation is considered a prerequisite for sustainable buildings and thus aligns with current construction industry trends. The design of naturally ventilated buildings is more difficult and risky than that of mechanically ventilated buildings. A successful outcome is increasingly dependent on a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the theoretical and experimental procedures used in design.
Wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation are the two methods for naturally ventilating a building. The majority of buildings that use natural ventilation rely on wind-driven ventilation, but the most efficient design incorporates both types.
Natural Building Ventilation: Theory, Measurement, and Design comprehensively explains the fundamentals of natural ventilation theory and measurement, as well as the current state of knowledge and how it can be applied to design The book also discusses theoretical and experimental approaches to practical design problems. The limitations of the various techniques, as well as the associated uncertainties, are given special consideration.
