Ventilation Performance of Natural Ventilation Building with Solar Chimney

Submitted by on Mon, 04/15/2019 - 11:21

Because of the need of energy conservation and Business Continuity Planning (BCP), natural ventilation system, which basically does not use non-renewable energy, is attracting academic/practical attention. However, it is difficult to predict the natural ventilation performance even after completion of the building, because it is easily affected by unstable conditions, such as outdoor temperature and wind. The designing and controlling method of natural ventilation system is not yet sufficiently established.

Ventilation rates and indoor air humidity depending on local climate – simulations and measurements of 9 European countries

Most European standards and national regulations about ventilation rates are based on indoor air quality assumptions in terms of contamination. On the other hand, indoor air humidity is important for human health as well. In case of high flow rates during the heating seasons in cold climates, the indoor air humidity tends to low values.
