Type of article: Article

Summary

With the rising cost of energy, the drive towards improved indoor air quality, and the industry's adoption of an adaptive comfort model for naturally conditioned spaces, interest is growing among HVAC engineers to explore how natural ventilation might best be reapplied in the building industry. This article presents an overview of ASHRAE standards applicable to spaces using natural ventilation, suggests an early-phase design decision-making methodology, and then compares a collection of recent mixed mode projects that have applied some level of natural ventilation within the San Francisco Bay area.
