Atrium-assisted natural ventilation of multi-storey buildings (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., & Cook, M. (2005, September). Atrium-assisted natural ventilation of multi-storey buildings. Presented at The 10th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate, Beijing, China

Buoyancy-driven displacement natural ventilation in a simple multi-storey building structure is investigated. The
storeys are connected to a common atrium and top-down-chimneys, and the internal heat gains of the storeys are
represented by localise... Read More about Atrium-assisted natural ventilation of multi-storey buildings.
