Conditional Effectiveness of Night Ventilation During Heatwaves: Nonlinear Interactions Among Event Morphology, Thermal Mass and Operating Strategies

Consecutive warm nights during heatwaves erode the cooling potential of night ventilation (NV), making its effectiveness strongly dependent on both the event and the building conditions. This study quantified the nonlinear effects of heatwave morphology, building thermal mass (TM...

Improving Ventilation Performance in a Multi-Storey Solar Chimney System Using Neutral Plane Analysis: A CFD Case Study

Multi-storey solar chimneys are often evaluated using shaft-outlet airflow, which may conceal uneven airflow distribution among floors. A shaft may provide adequate extraction while upper floors receive insufficient air or experience reverse airflow. This study examined the relat...
