Abstract
Low-mass, light structures, such as many school designs of recent times, can become uncomfortably warm in hot weather, and correction by mechanical air conditioning can be costly. The problem was studied some time ago by the Hungarian Institute for Building Science by means of computer calculations and model tests, described here. The results show the importance of careful design and of orientation, and the potential for adiabatic control, namely where heat entering the system is balanced by ventilation. The results of different directional ventilation arrangements are outlined.
