There is a growing body of literature that recognizes that natural ventilation plays a vital role
in indoor air quality, thermal comfort and building energy consumption. This paper …

Wind-induced natural ventilation through openings with small wind pressure differences was
examined using large eddy simulation (LES) modelling. This study focused on cases in …

Natural ventilation is gaining more popularity in recent decades as a sustainable strategy to
reduce energy consumption and improve indoor air quality. Due to variable turbulent …

Cross-ventilation is a complicated flow problem and difficult to control because wind exhibits
a large degree of variation. The paper focuses on three items: a) to clarify and understand …

Natural ventilation offers significant advantages, especially in terms of energy conservation.
However, most published articles have focused on the ventilation flow rate to determine the …

The airflow rate of a building ventilated by wind is usually predicted by using the wind
pressure coefficients obtained for a sealed building and discharge coefficients based on …

A working group for natural ventilation and cross-ventilation at the Architectural Institute of
Japan (AIJ) was established in 2005 by researchers and designers with an interest in this …

The wind pressure coefficient is the basic driving force of wind-induced natural ventilation.
The wind velocity along the building wall is also important for wind environment in balcony …

Present paper focuses on the wind-induced natural ventilation through openings with minute
wind pressure difference, of which ventilation rate cannot be predicted well by the …

Sealed building wind pressure coefficients and discharge coefficients of openings are
generally used to predict building ventilation airflow rates. For the flow through large …
