Energy recovery possibilities in natural ventilation of office buildings.

Summary

The paper deals with energy consumption and heat recovery in office buildings with natural ventilation. Net energy consumption for ventilation is calculated for 7 European countries. The calculations are done with various air flow rates and occupancy. The calculations show differences between the 7 countries, but the net ventilation heat loss is substantial for all. Norway and Sweden will benefit most from heat recovery. Several heat recovery concepts for natural ventilation are presented.
