Natural ventilation is an eco-friendly and renewable energy source that enhances thermal
comfort and energy efficiency. The window is the most traditional method of introducing …

Wind catchers as passive cooling systems contribute to the enhancement of air quality,
thermal comfort, and reduction of energy consumption in the residential sector. In this paper …

Traditional windcatchers with massive structures were used to capture the local wind stream
to improve occupant thermal comfort. To obtain smaller configurations with enhanced/similar …

Windexchangers are relatively small structures located on the building rooftop to promote
natural ventilation. This paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) validation …

In this work, the effect of duct cross-section area and geometry, square and rectangular, of a
windexchanger (WE) on the room airflow distribution is studied for a room with a window, at …

This paper presents a detailed experimental analysis of ventilation flows in a building with a
windcatcher surrounded by building arrays. The surrounding building arrangements were in …

The purpose of this research is to compare different natural cross-ventilation (NCV)
configurations in a generic isolated building using various evaluation parameters. NCV is …

The study described here analyzed natural ventilation techniques, operated in a real
building in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to assist passive cooling. The assessment has …

Wind tunnel experiments are conducted on a single zone building with a two-sided
windcatcher and a window. Mean and fluctuating surface pressures are measured to …
