Dynamic thermal simulation of advanced natural ventilation in buildings : current and future usage, UK exemplar (2019)
Journal Article
Ji, Y., Lee, A., & Fernando, T. (2020). Dynamic thermal simulation of advanced natural ventilation in buildings : current and future usage, UK exemplar. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 16(4), 293-309. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2019.1693334

This paper evaluates the use of advanced natural ventilation (ANV) strategies in a range of climatic conditions from four cities in the UK. A prototype ANV system was proposed to determine the most effective case in mitigating overheating. The case w...
