MANAGINGVENTILATION STRATEGIES IN HOTTER CLIMATES -AN HOLISTIC APPROACH TO NATURAL VENTILATION

摘要

The technological, economic and environmental benefits of modern natural ventilation systems are well documented. The ability to move air through a building without exerting mechanical energy not only provides free cooling, but also a highly effective method of maintaining good indoor air quality, by removing pathogens, pollutants and exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2). Strong evidence from a range of independent studies also indicates that naturally ventilated solutions can also have a positive effect on the health issues associated with 'sick buildings'.
