A Study on the Improvement of Cross Ventilation Efficiency in a Tower Type Apartment in Summer Season

탑상형 아파트의 여름철 통풍성능 개선에 대한 연구

In terms of plane structure, tower-type apartments have several disadvantages compared to flat-type apartments in the aspect of ventilation rate. Such disadvantages may not produce good indoor cooling effects with natural ventilation inside the heated apartments in hot summer days, so they may cause high energy consumption by an increase in cooling load. The purpose of this study is to investigate ways for improving the indoor thermal environment of tower-type apartments in summer by conducting quantitative evaluations of the airflow distribution in households.
