The transient natural ventilation of a warm room is investigated in this paper. The authors developed a simple model to describe the transient oscillatory process. The application of the model is then discussed and demonstrates how pre-cooled draining maybe employed appropriately to provide thermal comfort in a room not occupied permanently.
