Lesson Overview

The building compactness and building massing has a huge influence to the effectivity of natural ventilation.

Natural ventilation is an important factor to improve the occupant satisfaction. This lesson discusses the most important concepts for natural ventilation that can be considered when doing the building massing. Design recommendations will be provided.

Lesson Goals

The designer will learn how to improve the effectivity of natural ventilation in the first design steps (building massing). It is the goal to provide an awareness of the natural ventilation concepts at the very beginning.
