Night ventilation cooling of office buildings: parametric analyses of conceptual energy impacts.

Author(s) : KOLOKOTRONI M.

Summary

The paper investigates the predicted effectiveness of night ventilation in four buildings, two passively cooled and two air-conditioned. A simplified thermal and ventilation model is used for the predictions; the model has been compared with measured values to increase confidence in the results. It is concluded that such a model is a valuable tool to demonstrate the benefits of night ventilation and low energy design principles to clients.
