Natural ventilation in high-rise apartments in hot-humid climates

This thesis contributes to improvement of natural ventilation and thermal comfort in high-rise residential buildings in hot-humid climates. Case study approach along with full-scale experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics formed the methodology of the current thesis. Two main outcomes of this study are: 1) a model for integration of different methods of natural ventilation evaluation at different design stages, and 2) a holistic model for implication of various design parameters to improve natural ventilation in buildings
