Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation is the use of the building's form, organization and openings in conjunction with naturally occurring phenomena such as exterior wind and internal warm air circulation. The optimization of air movement takes advantage of heat generated both from the occupants and the building walls. The 21 Acres Center will incorporate natural ventilation through the automatic control system to:
- Reduce operating costs by decreasing power used to mechanically ventilate and cool.
- Reduce construction costs by downsizing the cooling equipment.
- Reduce building energy use and thereby also reduce the environmental impact and external resource requirement/impact.
