Automated vs. Manual Window Control
For architects, designers and engineers alike, natural ventilation has become a desirable solution to implement in a variety of building types, be it commercial, educational or cultural. However, the term natural ventilation is broadly used to describe various levels of system design and integration in buildings. This can range from manually operable windows/vents to intelligent automated window/vent control systems.

This diverse design range calls for a deeper understanding and this webinar will therefore address
-
The benefits and pitfalls of manual and automated natural ventilation options.
-
Studies showing occupant behavior in relation to manually operable windows.
-
Hardware and sequence of operation required for different system designs.
-
Data showing examples of natural ventilation strategies.
-
The general struggles of implementing these different options in energy modelling software.
-
How various levels of natural ventilation will impact different project stakeholders.
Once completed, this webinar enables you to
1. Understand different design approaches to natural ventilation, including benefits and pitfalls. 2. Outline different automated natural ventilation strategies including necessary hardware and operation sequences. 3. Understand general struggles when implementing natural ventilation for energy modelling. 4. Explain how different levels of natural ventilation design can benefit project stakeholders.
