For centuries, natural ventilation (NV) was the smartest technique for conditioning the built
environment. However, in modern design, NV has not been utilised to its full potential …

Acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most relevant aspects of a healthy home
environment. Despite advances in mechanical and hybrid ventilation systems, natural …

Turbulence dominates the natural ventilation of a building when openings are parallel to the
external wind, and multiple factors associated with turbulence simultaneously affect natural …

HVAC control strategies have been considered as a means to reduce energy consumption
in buildings. Personalizing the operation of HVAC systems depending on thermal zone …

In this study, we evaluated several simple natural ventilation models of cross ventilation and
single-sided ventilation with data measured in a full-scale field study in London. In the field …

The airflow movement inside a multizone building has a significant impact on pollutant
transfer, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. However, there are difficulties in visualizing …

The measurement of ventilation rates is crucial in understanding buildings' performances,
but can be a rather complex task due to the time-dependency of wind and buoyancy forces …

Several building airtightness databases were created in many European countries thanks to
the development of commissioning tests. However, comparing building performance across …

Poorly designed internal walls deter natural ventilation of buildings, causing poor indoor air
quality and exorbitant energy costs when mechanical ventilation systems are used. Although …

The paper presents experimental measurements of airflow through different types of façade
openings. A mockup of a façade with replaceable window openings was built. A set of axial …
