Abstract

A pilot study was carried out to examine the influence of fire safety requirements and external wind on the performance of naturally ventilated multi-storey buildings in which the external envelop is dynamically insulated. Fresh air was supplied to the building through the envelope by depressurization, using a fan-driven, ducted extract system. Prototype 3, 4, 5, and 10 storey buildings, all sharing the same rectangular floor plan, were studied using a spreadsheet model. From the analysis the effects of wall porosity, depressurization level, extract system deployment, occupant density and distribution, and building orientation have been quantified.
