<p class="MsoNormal">Dear friends and colleagues, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a huge number of metrics to evaluate
naturally ventilated buildings—we identified over 40(!) during a
recent literature review. To this end, we are conducting a survey
<span class="user-generated">about the way naturally ventilated
building designs are evaluated using simulation-based
performance metrics. We would greatly appreciate if you could
spare less than 10 minutes of your time to participate at the
link below.</span></p>

of Natural Ventilation Performance Metrics</a></font><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may ask, what does this have to do with
thermal modelling? Many of the measures in the survey are assessed
using EnergyPlus's transient airflow network model. Other measures
are based on CFD calculations. You can <a

details about our calculation methods here</a>.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="user-generated">Thank you very
much for your time and help.</span></p>
Best wishes,<br>
Alstan and Sarah<br>
