The existing analytical models for the purging of excess buoyancy by displacement and mixing ventilation have been extended to allow the authors the simulation of natural ventilation with time-varying vent areas.The resulting analytic solutions have been applied to a typical office to obtain predictions. Those predictions have then been compared to those based on a constant vent area model .
