Night ventilation is a low energy strategy for cooling a building. It works by using natural or
mechanical ventilation to cool the thermal mass of exposed internal building surfaces at …

Night ventilation has been applied successfully to many passively-cooled or low-energy
office buildings. This paper investigates the applicability of night ventilation in air …

Climatic change and heat island effect in combination with the non-proper design of
buildings have increased substantially the cooling load of buildings. Night ventilation …

Passive cooling designs & technologies offer great promise to lower energy use in buildings.
Though the working principles of these designs and technologies are well understood …

Previous studies have demonstrated a potential reduction in cooling load and improvement
in comfort from the implementation of night ventilation. This paper describes the …

Night ventilation has been applied successfully to many passively-cooled or low-energy
office buildings. This paper analyses the thermal comfort achievable in office buildings in …

This paper presents results from two naturally-ventilated low-energy recently-occupied new
buildings where high thermal mass and night ventilation is used to provide cooling during …

Especially for commercial buildings in moderate climates, night-time ventilation seems to be
a simple and energy-efficient approach to improve thermal comfort in summer. However …

The suitability of night ventilation for cooling is first discussed by presenting a plot of summer
weather conditions on the bioclimatic chart and by reporting on the results of energy and …

The suitability of night ventilation for cooling offices in moderate climates such as that of the
UK is first assessed by presenting plots of summer weather data on the bioclimatic chart for …
