An Overview of Unsteady Analysis Techniques for Natural Wind Turbulence and its Effects on Natural Ventilation

Focusing on the turbulence in natural ventilation and its impact on both occupant thermal comfort and building energy consumption, this paper presents a review of existing unsteady natural ventilation envelope flow models, as well as other techniques that have potential application to further our understanding of turbulence in natural ventilation and develop models which capture the dynamics and effects on thermal comfort.
