Typologies of hybrid ventilation in schools.

Author(s) : ENGEL P. van den

Summary

This article is the result of a study on how to close the "gap" between architects and a building service consultant. Closing is necessary in order to be able to create both a better indoor climate and an interesting architectural environment. Especially for schools with natural air supply, some basic physical principles of draught prevention should be checked in an early stage of the design or commissioning process. Air supply designs for the most common architectural problems should be easily available. Most of the presented design options have been evaluated with measurements and CFD-simulations. For schools with natural air exhaust (overpressure system), the results of an on-site test are presented. This system can be applied even in existing schools with single glass windows and a monumental façade.
