Author(s) : PFAFFEROTT J., HERKEL S., JASCHKE M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This is a technical research article that investigates the performance of both mechanical and free night ventilation used for the passive cooling of offices at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. It reports on the results of experiments carried out to determine the efficiency of night ventilation. The researchers measured air change rate, and solar and internal heat gains. The experiments were evaluated by using a parametric model and by using the thermal simulation program ESP-r. The results were emerged to create a method for data evaluation in office buildings and to provide a simple model for use in a building management system.
