Stack ventilation and cooling for urban sites: natural ventilation with roof intake for improved air quality.

Author(s) : GAGE S. A.

Summary

The paper outlines the value of roof intake air ducts to serve largely passively ventilated and cooled buildings in urban areas. This approach improves air quality, reduces noise pollution and enhances security. A diagram representation of night cooling using this approach is given followed by a description of experimental work at the Bartlett. This work is directed at establishing methods of starting the ventilation process by overcoming buoyancy, and enhancing the cooling process by providing "mixed mode" cooling.
