A closed-building approach performs well in hot, dry climates where there’s a large variation in temperature between night and day
Ventilation is a system that involves the continuous replacement of indoor air from an occupied space with relatively fresh outdoor air through windows, vents, and doors. There are multiple reasons, such as smoke, odors, humidity, warm temperature, pollution, and suffocation which may often disrupt the comfort levels in your home. There are three types of ventilation systems available on the market today, forced ventilation, hybrid ventilation, and natural ventilation, which improve indoor air quality. You may achieve the indoor comfort of occupants if you design your home in satisfactory and favorable ambient conditions. The replacement of any mechanical ventilation system may not only save you money on electricity costs. Still, it will also contribute to the decrease of the indoor pollutants produced during the electricity production stages. The effects of window and door position in the vertical direction of the wind-driven natural cross ventilation of a full-scale building significantly influence performance. The location of the window and door determines if a building will benefit from a closed or an open building ventilation approach. A closed-building approach performs well in hot, dry climates where there’s a large variation in temperature between night and day. An open-building approach performs well in warm and humid climates, where the temperature levels don’t vary much between day and night. In such cases, daytime cross-ventilation is encouraged to maintain inside temperatures close to outdoor temperatures. Avoid inlet and outlet windows directly across from each other to promote more mixing and improve the effectiveness of your ventilation system.
