Full Description

The state of the art on predicting airflows from natural ventilation is discussed. The usefulness and limitations of wind-tunnel-derived building pressure coefficient data in predicting airflow are presented. Actual measured full-scale field data are provided to show the effects of atmospheric turbulence, window type, and insect screening on airflow. Also presented are airflow and airspeed data from ceiling fans.
