The large range of the outdoor air temperature variation during day and night offers the opportunity to use the outdoor air at night as a natural cooling source. This would improve the indoor environment of non-air conditioned buildings or reduce the cooling load of air conditioned buildings. The cooling effect of night ventilation can be predicted by computer simulation of the room thermal processes. The simulation procedure and the results of the effect of night ventilation are reported in this paper. The conditions under which the average room temperature can be maintained below the average outdoor temperature are discussed.
