Comparison of Single-Sided Ventilation Characteristics between Single-Storey and Multi-Storey Buildings due to Wind Effect

Previous studies on single-sided natural ventilation are mostly limited to very simple physical models, such as a single-room or single-storey building. Our recent on-site measurements have shown that previous empirical models based on such simple physical models are inapplicable to multi-storey buildings. In order to explore why, this study systematically compares the ventilation characteristics of single-storey and multi-storey buildings with single-sided natural ventilation.
