<div class=""><b class="">Description</b></div>
<div class="">Throughout history, natural ventilation (NV) has remained the preferred choice for the majority of residential buildings, while, in commercial buildings, natural ventilation went from being the single option to somewhat of a lost art as mechanical ventilation
systems and air conditioning became the standard during the second half of the twentieth century. Recently, as a result of environmental concerns, in particular the greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, interest in natural ventilation in commercial buildings
has seen a resurgence.</div>
<div class="">This thesis will focus on improving existing simplified models of single sided NV systems. Using a combination of full scale experiments and advanced large eddy numerical simulation methods, the student will develop new simplified models that
can assist building designers in the implementation of single sided NV systems in modern commercial buildings. During the thesis, the student will also be involved in NV research activities in two ongoing H2020 projects (ABC21 and SATO).</div>
