Information

Natural ventilation model considering windows opening

Hypothesis and equations

Calculation of renewal air flow by windows opening based on the following equation:

air_flow = 3600 x 0.5 x Swindow x (0.001 x Vwind^2 + 0.0035 x Hwindow x abs(Tint - Text) + 0.01)^(1/2)

Instructions for use

none

Known limits / Use precautions

This model considers only the flow rate drives by the difference of temperature and the wind, it does not take into account pressure considerations.

No consideration of wind direction.
