Single sided Ventilation

HOME     <Building Solutions <   <Natural Ventilation CFD assessment <   Single sided Ventilation

The openings are located on one side of the building. Most of the air movement is localized near the openings.  The air movement can be driven by buoyancy due to the difference of temperature between the inside and the outside. It can also be driven by the wind or both.
