Heat transfer in naturally ventilated rooms: Data from full-scale measurements

Conference · · ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5960124
Experiments were conducted in a full-scale room of the Florida Solar Energy Center Passive Cooling Laboratory (PCL) to determine heat-transfer coefficients from one vertical wall when the room was naturally ventilated. Such data is required for accurate predictions of heat removal rates from overheated rooms by natural and forced ventilation. The heat-transfer data is correlated to local surface airspeeds and design values are presented. Comparisons are made with other data sources.
