Abstract
A method is proposed to assess the natural ventilation potential by taking into account the most comprehensive set of factors involved in natural ventilation. These factors are either driving forces, such as wind pressure and stack effect, or constraints, like noise pollution and atmospheric pollution. The process considers these factors in an ordinal qualitative scale and gives its result in that scale. This bypasses the problem of the inaccuracy of some parameters, which can be very high, especially in urban environment and in the pre-design phase of a construction project. Actually, the method is particularly suitable for designers intending to take early-stage decisions.
