  2. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    Natural ventilation is the intentional passive flow of outdoor air into a building through planned openings (such as louvers, doors, and windows). Natural ventilation does not require mechanical systems to move outdoor air. Instead, it relies entirely on passive physical phenomena, such as wind pressure, or the stack effect. Natural ventilation ...

  3. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

    The ventilation system of a regular earthship Dogtrot houses are designed to maximise natural ventilation. A roof turbine ventilator, colloquially known as a 'Whirly Bird' is an application of wind driven ventilation. Passive ventilation is the process of supplying air to and removing air from an indoor space without using mechanical systems.

  4. Ventilative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilative_cooling

    Ventilative cooling is the use of natural or mechanical ventilation to cool indoor spaces. [1] The use of outside air reduces the cooling load and the energy consumption of these systems, while maintaining high quality indoor conditions; passive ventilative cooling may eliminate energy consumption.

  5. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    This vertical movement of air creates a natural ventilation system that can significantly reduce indoor temperatures. Combining the stack effect with cross ventilation, where airflow moves across the building from one side to the other, can enhance the overall cooling effect. [7] [8]

  6. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

    Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process. [7]

  7. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

    A solar chimney – often referred to as a thermal chimney – is a way of improving the natural ventilation of buildings by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. A simple description of a solar chimney is that of a vertical shaft utilizing solar energy to enhance the natural stack ventilation through a building.
