For the complexity of the climate and ventilation network of mine, the ventilation system of mine is the high-order nonlinear systems.
Much like the cacophony of architectural styles on display, individual buildings vary in the degree of modernity and comfort – and some exude a kind of shabbiness associated with a humid climate, poor ventilation, badly functioning air conditioning and the overwhelming smell of food.
In these climates, natural ventilation systems present a viable alternative to the design of near Zero Energy Buildings maintaining indoor comfort conditions.
In cold climates, mechanical ventilation systems with highly efficient heat recovery will experience problems with condensing water from the extracted humid indoor air.
In moderate climates night ventilation is an effective and energy-efficient approach to improve the indoor thermal environment for office buildings during the summer months, especially for heavyweight construction.
In hot humid climates, natural ventilation is an essential passive strategy in order to maintain thermal comfort inside buildings and it can be also used as an energy-conserving design strategy to reduce building cooling loads by removing heat stored in the buildings thermal mass.
In this research, CFD was used to analyse various thermal comfort parameters with different double façade configurations to determine a new type of double-skin façade configurations which will provide a better indoor thermal comfort in the hot and humid climate through natural ventilation strategies for the high-rise buildings.
Especially for commercial buildings in moderate climates, night-time ventilation seems to be a simple and energy-efficient approach to improve thermal comfort in summer.
Melbourne had been designed to operate in North Atlantic and Arctic climates, and the original ventilation systems were inappropriate for her primary operating climate, the tropics.
"Plus-houses will likely remain more expensive than conventional houses, but on the other hand the owners will benefit from lower utility bills throughout the lifetime of the house, and in many cases from added benefits such as a better indoor climate due to improved ventilation, more daylight and better insulation".
