Natural Ventilation of Buildings: Theory, Measurement and Design delves into the essential principles and practices necessary for effectively designing naturally ventilated buildings. Authored by David Etheridge, this comprehensive guide was first published in September 19, 2011, under the Wiley imprint. The book explores wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation as the primary methods of natural air movement within structures, emphasizing that a successful design should incorporate both approaches for optimal efficiency.
Emphasizing sustainability, this text is crucial for professionals in architecture and engineering who are interested in reducing reliance on mechanical systems while maintaining comfortable indoor environments. It covers fundamental theories alongside practical applications, providing designers with the tools needed to navigate uncertainties and constraints inherent in natural ventilation projects.
The book’s key features include:
