This paper reports experiments carried out in a scale model, about possibilities to use buoyancy forces to distribute air and heat through horizontal openings. Water and saline water have been used as operating fluids. This study focuses on the effect of a staircase on the fluid exchange through the horizontal opening. This research is planned to be carried on in a full scale 2 storey-building.
