Single-sided natural ventilation in buildings: a critical literature review

Natural ventilation nowadays has been paid great concerns due to its zero carbon emission and good performance on the human health. In engineering applications, cross driven by winds frequently restricted in building clustered cities. Instead, single-sided natural becomes an alternative mode wind strategies for urban buildings. This research reviewed former published researches terms of classification, features, influence factors, investigation methodologies evaluation indices/parameters. Existing a novel mechanism ventilation—“pumping ventilation” have comprehensively reviewed, which could be promising strategy ventilation. critical review demonstrates that raised increasing researchers. current future investigations, different other advanced technologies should coupled together promote predicting capability facilitate fundamental applications modern
