Simulation study on the Natural Ventilation of College Student’ Dormitory

Abstract

The students’ dormitory is the minimum living unit of the universities’ campus, carrying the students’ living, communication and learning activities. In this paper, CFD method is used to simulate the indoor environment of the student dormitory in Jinan. The indoor natural ventilation of the interior corridor dormitory and the outer corridor dormitory was analyzed under two meteorological conditions. The results show that the natural ventilation of outer corridor dormitory is better than the natural ventilation of interior corridor dormitory. And based on these analyses, this paper puts forward a design strategy and optimization method of natural ventilation in the dormitory. Through the discussing of natural ventilation design in college students’ dormitory in this paper, hoping that the natural ventilation design in the design of the college dorms is valued, so as to attach importance to students’ dormitory, a particular type of building which is closely related to students’ daily life.
