Natural ventilation feasibility in typical patients wards in a Belgian hospital during summer

Natural ventilation is an interesting topic of research. It could contribute in supplying adequate airflow rates, achieving thermal comfort in patients’ wards in hospitals and reduce energy consumption. Although, it’s still challenging due to the high fluctuations in ambient airflow and changeable weather conditions which should be studied carefully to be able to achieve stable and comfortable thermal conditions in patients’ wards. This study investigates the feasibility of integrating natural ventilation with existing HVAC system, when it’s possible to have natural ventilation as an efficient... Mehr ...
