Summary

A simplified coupled thermal and airflow model has been developed by integrating the British Standard natural ventilation calculation method for a single zone within a four-node thermal resistance network model, which is called the thermal resistance ventilation model. The paper describes a two-stage method to perform parametric and analytic studies of natural ventilation for summer cooling. This method is simple and straightforward, which is suitable for strategic design of natural ventilation. It demonstrates how the simplified method can be used to generate detailed and robust comfort data based on both automatic and behavioural control models.
