Summary

To explore the feasibility of applying stack ventilation in urban apartments during the warm season in Taipei, this study examines the ventilation volume induced by the combined wind and stack effect in a two-storey building. This research was conducted in three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations. It was found that the roof type is able to induce larger ventilation volume when weaker driving forces are considered. This ventilation volume is much larger than required in a naturally ventilated building when the warm season of Taipei is considered.
