Naturally ventilated buildings with heat recovery: CFD simulation of thermal environment.

Author(s) : GAN G., RIFFAT S. B.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper presents a methodology for predicting air flow and thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings. Numerical simulations were carried out for a naturally ventilated room with heat-pipe recovery. Calculation of air flow rates in the room took into acccount not only of driving forces (wind and stack effects) but also flow resistances. The potential of a heat-pipe heat recovery system to produce adequate thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings is investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
