Natural ventilation nowadays has been paid great concerns due to its zero carbon emission
and good performance on the human health. In engineering applications, cross ventilation …

For centuries, natural ventilation (NV) was the smartest technique for conditioning the built
environment. However, in modern design, NV has not been utilised to its full potential …

The rising cooling energy demand, caused by the increase in global average temperature
and the frequency of heat waves, is currently leading to a significant increase in global …

Wind-driven single-sided ventilation is present in many existing buildings globally, and its
performance can be unreliable and challenging to improve. To address these performance …

Natural ventilation has great potential to create desirable indoor air quality and reduce
energy consumption in buildings. Accurately modeling the windows of buildings is important …

Balconies could enhance natural ventilation (NV) and reduce reliance on mechanical
ventilation in cooling dominant climates. Indoor environment and thermal comfort under NV …

Most of the underground buildings rely on mechanical ventilation system for achieving an
acceptable indoor thermal comfort level. In order to alleviate the greenhouse effect, it is …

Ventilation is the primary means to control the health risks from 'high heat, humidity and
pollution'in urban underground spaces. Natural ventilation helps reduce the energy and …

Current literature and guidelines on sustainable design often debate on the advantages of
natural ventilation (NV) and mechanical ventilation (MV) on indoor environment and energy …

This research presents a new method for evaluating the energy performance of climate-
adaptive building envelopes (CABEs) called parametric behavior maps (PBMs). There are …
