Σύνοψη

The purpose of this project was to investigate the Natural ventilation in buildings and its application and appreciate importance.
Among others, a more important purpose was to indicate that mechanical ventilation is not always the best solution.
So someone who is interested to achieve and maintain its resident by natural ways, this project would be very helpful to him.
Firstly this project starts with the detailed approach of the natural ventilation with C.I.B.S and ASHRAE standards. Thus, the effects of wind pressure airflow, infiltration e.t.c. are discussed in PartA.
Then by studying some references on proper design and construction of residential structures and moreover the suitable handling of window types and sizes and also the effect of plants around the resident.
Furthennore some typical examples of Natural ventilation in buildings abroad are presented which provide natural cooling. These techniques were discussed detailed so someone who is interested may adopt them and used them.
Finally an effort was made to study behavior of wind in Natural ventilation in Cyprus in a form of an experiment in H.T.Ι premises, showing this effect and also air change effectiveness in a classroom.
Ending, some reference in the form of tables and maps showing the wind direction and effect among the four cardinal directions (south, north, east, and west) for Cyprus.
