CONCLUSION
6.0 INTRODUCTION
Base from the study, case study and calculations experiment, generally, Natural
ventilation need to be carried out inside building to achieve the values of comfortable to
the occupants. Knowledge on the role opening namely window, door and opening in the
building would be important to providing natural ventilation flow into the building intend
to avoid health problem, occupier comfort and space cooling one building to be
workable.
6.1 CONCLUSION
Natural ventilation in large building feasible if we improve and expand the
opening function in the building by creative and wise to enrich and extend building life.
Factors of size, opening position and other features are in control of designer. It needs
to be applied from the early stage during the design building stage.
Lot of good things can get at reaction of the wind with the large building whether
in front, back or at roof. Natural ventilation can have impact of stress and suction can be
increased and can be controlled by using effective designs like wind trap, atrium and
cooling tower in tall buildings. To lower part at this large building, where air stream are
established revenue from obstruction and flow fall on the wall building can provide
90
comfort air ventilation with the air is not be too hot, no dusty and polluted. This move
can settle with cleaning process and cooling through the method calm by trees and
water spray.
6.2 SUGGESTIONS
The specific approach and design of natural ventilation systems will vary based
on building type and local climate. However, the amount of ventilation depends critically
on the careful design of internal spaces, and the size and placement of openings in the
building.
A successful application of natural ventilation strategies is only possible when
there are no problems in many areas at various levels from the design stage to actual
operating demands placed on the building users (Allard, 1998).
6.2.1 Design Recommendations
To provide good design for allow natural ventilation in the building :
Each room should have two separate supplies and exhaust openings.
Locate exhaust high above inlet to maximize stack effect. Orient windows
across the room and offset from each other to maximize mixing within the
room while minimizing the obstructions to airflow within the room.
91
Provide ridge vents. A ridge vent is an opening at the highest point in the
roof that offers a good outlet for both buoyancy and wind-induced
ventilation. The ridge opening should be free of obstructions to allow air to
freely flow out of the building.
Allow for adequate internal airflow. In addition to the primary consideration

of airflow in and out of the building, airflow between the rooms of the
building is important. When possible, interior doors should be designed to
be open to encourage whole-building ventilation. If privacy is required,
ventilation can be provided through high louvers or transoms.
Consider the use of clerestories or vented skylights. A clerestory or a

vented skylight will provide an opening for stale air to escape in a
buoyancy ventilation strategy. The light well of the skylight could also act
as a solar chimney to augment the flow. Openings lower in the structure,
such as basement windows, must be provided to complete the ventilation
system.
Provide attic ventilation. In buildings with attics, ventilating the attic space
greatly reduces heat transfer to conditioned rooms below. Ventilated attics
are about 30F cooler than unventilated attics.
Consider the use of fan-assisted cooling strategies. Ceiling and wholebuilding fans can provide up to 9F effective temperature drop at one tenth
the electrical energy consumption of mechanical air-conditioning systems.
92
Determine if the building will benefit from an open- or closed-building

ventilation approach. A closed-building approach works well in hot, dry
climates where there is a large variation in temperature from day to night.
A massive building is ventilated at night, then, closed in the morning to
keep out the hot daytime air. Occupants are then cooled by radiant
exchange with the massive walls and floor.
An open-building approach works well in warm and humid areas, where

the temperature does not change much from day to night. In this case,
daytime cross-ventilation is encouraged to maintain indoor temperatures
close to outdoor temperatures.
