Parametric Enhancement of a Window-Windcatcher for Enhanced Thermal Comfort and Natural Ventilation

Abstract: Window-windcatchers, a passive ventilation method, have been shown to improve ventilation and enhance thermal comfort. Preliminary characterization of a novel window-windcatcher has been undertaken in a previous work, but no relationship had been identified between the actual ventilation rate (Qact), the wind velocity (VTw) and crucial design parameters such as the fins angle (ϴ)). In this paper, the relationship that quantifies how the window-windcatcher’s performance depends on VTw and ϴ was determined. Addi… Show more

“…Driven by these regulations and national and international law, the industry has adopted carbon capturing and storage (CCS) methods. However, the usual CCS techniques are the conventional post-combustion [33][34][35], pre-combustion [36][37][38], and oxyfuel combustion [39,40] methods, which are preventive, but not corrective methods; that is, they cannot lead to zero carbon emissions and, thus, cannot reduce the existing global carbon footprint. In contrast, implementing the DAC system is a corrective action (i.e., a negative-carbon-emission system) as it directly removes CO 2 from the atmosphere, reducing the global carbon footprint.…”

“…Simultaneously, a parallel body of research has focused on the architectural design of interior spaces to maximize natural ventilation [ 30 ]. Researchers have also delved into the intricacies of airflow patterns by strategically placing windows, wind catchers, vents, and other architectural elements to optimize ventilation and minimize the concentration and spread of airborne pathogens [ [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ].…”
