Ventilation is a critical factor in determining the environmental performance of buildings, from energy use to the health and comfort of the occupants.

Natural ventilation schemes allow air movement through buildings without the need for high-energy fans. This seminar will introduce the principles and practice of natural ventilation using state of the art laboratory and computer modelling techniques and case studies, and aim to:

• Bring together architects and engineers interested in using design concepts for low energy loads for buildings
• Introduce the concepts of natural ventilation in buildings and the challenges of its implementation
• Introduce new techniques available for the design of low energy buildings to comply with Building
• Regulations Parts L and F.
