Reducing the Cooling Energy Demand by Optimizing the Airflow Distribution in a Ventilated Roof: Numerical Study for an Existing Residential Building and Applicability Map

Reducing the Cooling Energy Demand by Optimizing the Airflow Distribution in a Ventilated Roof: Numerical Study for an Existing Residential Building and Applicability Map

This work presents a study of a ventilated hollow core slab system (VHCS) that obviates the need to completely replace the slab of an existing residential building. It is assimilated to a heat exchanger to allow its effectiveness to be studied as a function of the area and airflow rate. The balance...
