Air circulation architecture

“Several methods of obtaining natural ventilation by arranging windows in different ways. Together, high and low windows offer customised solutions for the best possible indoor air quality and comfort. High windows facilitate efficient heat dissipation, low windows improve air circulation at ground level, and lantern windows contribute to effective ventilation and daylighting.” .

Thinking about light direction

Attribution: Annarita Ferrante This diagram showcases both cross-ventilation and the use of solar chimneys in an actual project. This diagram is successful because it conveys information in both plan and section, as well as its use of color to show the changes in air temperature.

Air circulation.

The bâdgir (“wind-catcher tower”) was an architectural innovation to capture cool air in a desert environment. These towers were set at a specific height on the roof of a building to capture a breeze and transfer it underground within the structure in order to bring cool air into large rooms and halls in the hot days of the season.

a) Unavailable b) Passive Ventilation c) First it utilizes plan format which allows the view to notice the pathways in a x,y plane as opposed to the y,z plane of other typical diagrams. Additionally, this diagram shows several realistic situations.

This diagram depicts how an atrium can utilize both cross ventilation and the stack effect on a multi-story building by allowing cross ventilation to occur at the lower levels and allowing the rising hot air to escape through gaps in the ceiling, This diagram is easy to understand and read by following the arrows to understand how the air will circulate through the space.
