Abstract

The paper investigates a single-sided naturally ventilated buildings potential model considering number of factors in China. This model can be used to estimate potential of natural ventilation via local climate data and building parameters. The main goal of the model is to predict natural ventilation hours and hourly ventilation flow rate. In fluid model, formula of single-sided natural ventilation by coupling wind pressure and temperature difference was used to calculate air flow rate. Accordingly, the paper analyzed four typical cities in different climate region in China and calculated pressure difference Pascal hours (PDPH). The results show that single-sided ventilation has fewer adaptive comfort hours than two-sided ventilation and much less ventilation volume. This model provided quantitative information for early stage architectural natural ventilation design and building energy efficiency evaluation. (author)

Optimization of cool roof and night ventilation in office buildings: A case study in Xiamen, China

Journal Article Guo, Rui; Gao, Yafeng; Zhuang, Chaoqun; ... - Renewable Energy

Increasing roof albedo (using a “cool” roof) and night ventilation are passive cooling technologies that can reduce the cooling loads in buildings, but existing studies have not comprehensively explored the potential benefits of integrating these two technologies. This study combines an experiment in the summer and transition seasons with an annual simulation so as to evaluate the thermal performance, energy savings and thermal comfort improvement that could be obtained by coupling a cool roof with night ventilation. A holistic approach integrating sensitivity analysis and multi-objective optimization is developed to explore key design parameters (roof albedo, night ventilation air change rate,more »« less

Natural-ventilation cooling of buildings. Final report, May 1981-September 1984

Technical Report Ashley, S

Natural ventilation can reduce cooling loads and increase human comfort in buildings in hot and humid climates. This report presents design guidelines for: (1) comfort criteria, (2) weather analysis and suitability of site, (3) arrangement of buildings at site, (4) architectural characteristics of buildings, (5) methods of calculating human comfort and air changes per hour achieved by natural ventilation, (6) a complete set of pressure coefficients for simple buildings with different side ratios, (7) computer simulation of buildings cooled by natural ventilation, (8) a simple method of calculating effective temperatures and comfort bands, and (9) economic analysis of the project.more »« less
Performance of fixed, air-side economizer, and neural network demand-controlled ventilation in CAV systems

Conference Rock, B; Wu, C

The performance of four popular ventilation strategies in ten different US cities for a typical small office building with a single-zone constant-air-volume (CAV) HVAC system is presented in this paper. These ventilation strategies include fixed-rate ventilation, sensible and enthalpy-based air-side economizers, and CO{sub 2}-based demand-controlled ventilation using an artificial neural network control algorithm. A commercial version of DOE 2.1E (Acrosoft 1994) is used to determine the hour-by-hour non-ventilation loads for a sample office building and the supply airflow rate for its constant air-volume rooftop unit. The weather data and computer models of the different ventilation strategies are then used tomore »« less
The impact of wind-induced ventilation on residential cooling load and human comfort

Conference Byrne, S; Huang, Y; Ritschard, R; ... - ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)

This paper describes an analysis of long-term, hourly weather data in several climates to determine the conditions for which available wind speed and coincident temperature and humidity can be used to meet human comfort conditions. By calculating the change in enthalpy produced by a typical residential air conditioner during those hours when an occupant is uncomfortable, we were able to estimate the impact of natural ventilation on building cooling load. The results are summarized in graphic formats, which allow a designer to determine the effect of ventilation on human comfort, the orientation of building openings that will maximize ventilative coolingmore »« less
Sustainable Building in China -- A Green Leap Forward?

Journal Article Diamond, Richard; Ye, Qing; Feng, Wei; ... - Buildings

China is constructing new commercial buildings at an enormous rate -- roughly 2 billion square meters per year, with considerable interest and activity in green design and construction. We review the context of commercial building design and construction in China, and look at a specific project as an example of a high performance, sustainable design, the Shenzhen Institute of Building Research (IBR). The IBR building incorporates over 40 sustainable technologies and strategies, including daylighting, natural ventilation, gray-water recycling, solar-energy generation, and highly efficient Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. We present measured data on the performance of the building,more »« less
