Abstract

Natural ventilation is an eco-friendly and renewable energy source that enhances thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The window is the most traditional method of introducing natural ventilation into the built environment, but its full potential has been slow to be explored. The indoor arrangement of naturally ventilated buildings must be effectively managed to ensure indoor thermal comfort and ventilation efficiency. Although the windows offer a number of advantages for natural ventilation, they can be challenging to implement in real occupied conditions due to the integrated design between façade and interior arrangement. A comprehensive review aims to investigate the potential factors that influence the performance of natural window ventilation. The overall findings show that wind-driven cross-ventilation and single-sided ventilation are the most extensively studied natural window ventilation strategies. However, the topics of corner ventilation and buoyancy-driven ventilation do not receive much attention. The findings highlight that appropriate window designs, including factors such as window geometry, opening ratio, number of openings, location, type, orientation, and shading systems, can maintain thermal comfort, reduce cooling loads, extend ventilation period, and improve indoor air quality. In addition, it has been discovered that the geometric and thermal properties of indoor obstructions determine the advantages and limitations of local thermal comfort and airflow patterns in different scenarios. The necessity for further studies on the effects of interior conditions on natural window ventilation is argued, as it is a crucial issue for ensuring accurate results. The review of recent literature contributes to categorizing the influential factors and identifying the important aspects to be considered in natural window ventilation. Through this literature review, further research is encouraged to fully exploit the potential for integrating interior factors and window characteristics in the design of low-energy buildings.

窗户配置和室内布局对自然通风建筑的潜在影响:全面回顾
自然通风是一种环保的可再生能源,可提高热舒适度和能源效率。窗户是将自然通风引入建筑环境的最传统方法,但其潜力却迟迟未得到充分挖掘。自然通风建筑的室内布置必须得到有效管理,以确保室内热舒适度和通风效率。虽然窗户为自然通风提供了许多优势,但由于外墙和室内布置之间的一体化设计,在实际占用条件下实施起来可能具有挑战性。一项综合研究旨在调查影响窗户自然通风性能的潜在因素。总体研究结果表明,风力驱动的交叉通风和单面通风是研究最为广泛的自然窗通风策略。然而,转角通风和浮力驱动通风的主题并没有得到太多关注。研究结果表明,适当的窗户设计,包括窗户的几何形状、开口率、开口数量、位置、类型、朝向和遮阳系统等因素,可以保持热舒适度、降低制冷负荷、延长通风时间并改善室内空气质量。此外,人们还发现,室内障碍物的几何和热特性决定了不同情况下局部热舒适度和气流模式的优势和局限性。因此,有必要进一步研究室内条件对窗户自然通风的影响,因为这是确保获得准确结果的关键问题。对近期文献的回顾有助于对影响因素进行分类,并确定自然窗通风需要考虑的重要方面。通过本次文献综述,鼓励进一步研究如何在低能耗建筑设计中充分利用室内因素和窗户特性的潜力。
