Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a pollutant that is found in all urban
environments. PM2. 5 is predominantly generated by traffic and domestic fuel combustion …

Natural ventilation is an energy-efficient approach to reduce the need for mechanical
ventilation and air conditioning in buildings. However, traditionally weather data for building …

Increased exposure to airborne fine particle pollution (PM2. 5) can result in decreased life
expectancy (DLE). However, while wood-burning in woodstoves and fireplaces for domestic …

The evaluation of natural ventilation potential for cooling indoor spaces during the early
design phases is of great interest to researchers and practitioners. Among various …

Natural ventilation has emerged as a desirable feature of sustainable buildings given its
potential positive impact on building energy performance and amenities for occupants. In …

Natural ventilation (NV) is a sustainable solution to improve building energy efficiency and
reduce carbon emission. In this study, we quantified the impact of air pollution and noise …

In the last decade, building energy simulation (BES) became a central component in
building energy systems' design and optimization. For each building location, BES requires …

Air pollution and unsuitable climatic conditions both limit the application of natural ventilation
(NV). The combined effects of climate change and air pollution on NV's potential are …

Natural ventilation (NV) has been considered a simple and effective method of ventilation.
However, the introduction of NV does not achieve better indoor air quality (IAQ) when the …

Abstract The application of Natural Ventilation (NV) as a measure to improve comfort
conditions in transition and summer periods has been a topic of research on the spotlight for …
