Comparison of full and model scale natural ventilation experiments

OSTI ID:5704334
Full scale field tests and 1:25 scale model tests were conducted for a room of a residential scale building. The experiments measured room air flows and internal airspeeds in a room naturally ventilated by two windows. This time validation effort showed boundary layer wind tunnels to be of value in comparing natural ventilation designs. However, differences in full and model scale absolute values were also observed. These differences and not large and can be explained on the basis of atmospheric instability which was not modelled in the wind tunnel study.
