The first version of this "Atlas" contains over 100 cases of office air flow patterns for different ventilation systems. The book is designed to give the design engineer a quick idea of how a particular system works under various loads. Maps have been prepared for velocity, temperature, turbulent kinetic energy, percentage dissatisfied due to draft risk, and pollutant concentrations (caused by a smoker, bookshelf, or by building materials).
The paper, which is based around a proposed design for a building in Germany, discusses how the facade can be used to provide the driving force for building ventilation, design constraints and the application of a zonal airflow model driven by convective heat gains, to the analysis of the performance of building.
