The provision of good IAQ in schools is important both for the health of students and in maximising educational achievement. It is, however, common for school classrooms to be significantly under-ventilated and this can lead to high levels of CO 2 and other pollutants. Natural ventilation offers the potential to improve IAQ within schools whilst at the same time reducing running and maintenance...

Advanced naturally ventilated systems based on integration of basic natural ventilation strategies such as cross-ventilation and stack effect have been considered to be a key element of sustainable design. In this respect, there is a pressing need to explore the potential of such systems to achieve the recommended occupant comfort targets throughout their lifetime without relying on mechanical ...

Abstract Increased thermal comfort in buildings is consuming large amounts of energy around the world, especially hot arid and semi-arid regions. Finding adapting ways to naturally cool should be a priority for researchers subject. For centuries Middle East cultures have used wind towers their they proved cost-effective, easy implement reliable solution passive cooling that requires almost negl...
