Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 5, 1081-1090

Abstract: This paper discusses the parameters which should be considered in designing natural ventilation systems and presents a procedure for calculating the air flow rate due to wind and buoyancy. Examples are given of systems using solar-induced ventilation which could have applications in ventilating commercial buildings.
