A good design of a natural ventilation system maintains harmony between the local climates, space sensible heat loads, and the design of operable openings (windows). Poorly designed systems can perform miserably even in the best climatic conditions. Several factors such as building orientation, building massing, effective opening areas and their locations, relative height differences, internal heat loads, furniture and seating arrangement within the occupied spaces can affect the performance of natural ventilation systems. This presentation will discuss basics of natural ventilation and with the help of case studies, demonstrate how basic analyses can help predict the number of hot hours for occupants and how to optimize the performance of natural ventilation designs.
