Attending next month’s ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX)? Be sure to check out the topic Natural Ventilation Design on Wednesday, 11/20.
Architects, engineers and building owners will be introduced to the need for and benefits of natural ventilation in buildings. This workshop will outline the basic physical principles of wind- and buoyancy-driven natural ventilation in buildings, and will then cover common problems encountered when a natural ventilation system fails to perform, leading to the design of an unsuccessful, costly and inefficient system. Each aspect will be discussed in detail, using real life examples of successful and unsuccessful systems. Design/operational suggestions will be provided.
