LoginDiscusses ways of modifying distribution of stack effect through building by design and construction. Suggests many of the problems caused by stack effect could be alleviated byincreasing air tightness of building enclosure and interior separations. Discusses influence of mechanical ventilation systems on stack effect. Shows that pressurization does not eliminate stack effect but alters distribution of pressure differences.
