Research on the effect of different position on classroom ventilation in a “L” type teaching building

Abstract

The ventilation effect in different places in the teaching building is different. The aim of this paper is to study the relative ventilation relationship of the rooms in “L” type middle school teaching building. Taking Xiamen in the subtropical region as a typical city, different aspect ratio for 1:1, 1:1.5 and 1:2 were set as variables, using the CFD simulation method. Combined and separated effects of the defined parameters on natural ventilation performance are evaluated using the ratio of age of air area as criteria. The result shows that the “L” type teaching building ventilated condition presents several characteristics as the approaching wind direction changed. Corner, long wing and short wing of building have some influences on the wind environment for classrooms. In addition, different aspect ratio “L” type buildings correspond to different optimal inlet wind angles. The research results in this paper can help architects to design buildings more scientifically and reasonably.
