Assessing natural cooling strategies in apartment buildings using de-coupled internal-external airflow simulations
conference contribution
posted on 2015-11-06, 09:53 authored by Eftychia SpentzouEftychia Spentzou, Malcolm CookMalcolm Cook, Stephen EmmittComputational fluid dynamics simulations were
conducted to investigate the performance of
enhanced natural ventilation strategies in an existing
multi-storey apartment building in Athens, a typical
urban Greek domestic building type. De-coupled
airflow modelling was employed to predict the
airflow patterns around the case study building at the
neighbourhood scale, along with the prediction of the
internal airflow patterns and indoor air temperatures
at the scale of a single apartment. Implementation of
a wind-catcher and a second façade layer have been
investigated to enhance the natural ventilation of the
building and improve the original single-sided
ventilation strategy.
