Wind towers: Measurement and performance

Thermal performance of three naturally ventilated public buildings in which the wind tower is an important architectural freature is studied. One of the three builidings as well as it's wind tower is instrumented for temperature, relative humidity and airflow velocity measurements, and the othe...

Description
Summary:Thermal performance of three naturally ventilated public buildings in which the wind tower is an important architectural freature is studied. One of the three builidings as well as it's wind tower is instrumented for temperature, relative humidity and airflow velocity measurements, and the other two are instrumented for temperature measurement. The results have led to a discussion concerning the degree of wind tower effectiveness in achieving thermal comfort.
