Natural Ventilation Systems: Cooling Strategies for Buildings

Image by: Levine

Natural ventilation systems rely on pressure and temperature differences to move fresh air through buildings. Air movement by pressure differences can be caused by wind and movement by temperature differences is caused by the buoyancy effect in the air. The amount of ventilation air that passes through the building depends on the size and placement of inlet and outlet openings.

Fresh air from… Read More
