Set-up and evaluation of a virtual test bed for simulating and comparing single- and mixed-mode ventilation strategies

Use of wind pressure coefficients to simulate natural ventilation and building energy for isolated and surrounded buildings

“…Opening area (m Of the studies stating the C p settings (fully or partly), only four [31,33,40,43] of 27 (Table 2) use the correct combination of C p and free stream wind speed (i.e. C pr with U free (H) or C pl with U free (z)).…”

Ventilation strategies and design impacts on indoor airborne transmission: A review

“…NV is also not adequate for high occupancy intensity [ 137 ]. MMV or a hybrid approach of natural and mechanical ventilation devices can be considered a more reliable strategy to provide stable airflow, dilute contamination, refresh indoor air, and provide thermal comfort, particularly when associated with a control strategy [ 138 , 139 ]. This section reviews published studies regarding different NV and MMV strategies and design influence on refreshing indoor areas, removing particles, and controlling indoor airborne transmission in clinical and non-clinical environments.…”

Natural Ventilation Strategy in a Social Housing with Sub-humid Warm Climate Based on Thermal Comfort

“…Utkucu et al [31] analysed the window openings in two levels dwelling under four scenarios, and they found that the open windows scenario in both levels favoured the thermal comfort conditions, but the scenario with closed windows in the second level and open windows in the first level favoured energy consumption. Control of natural ventilation was dominant to maintain thermal comfort with an adaptive model, using residual active systems in summer [27].…”
