Non dimensional analysis and characterisation of driving forces for a single sided slot louvre ventilation system

Submitted by on Thu, 02/13/2020 - 11:10

Adopting natural ventilation as a low impact retrofit strategy for space cooling is attractive due to the cooling potential of untreated outdoor air for large periods of the extended cooling season, particularly in northern climates. Furthermore, it is important to characterise the performance of natural ventilation components in successfully transferring the cooling potential of outdoor air to the occupied zone.

Experimental characterisation of dominant driving forces and fluctuating ventilation rates for a single sided slot louver ventilation system

Adopting natural ventilation as a retrofit strategy for cooling, due to the low impact nature of the installation, is attractive due to the cooling potential of untreated outdoor air for large periods of the extended cooling season, particularly in northern climates. In line with this it is important to characterise the performance of natural ventilation components in low energy buildings in successfully transferring the cooling potential of outdoor air to the occupied zone.
