A Review of Numerical Simulation as a Precedence Method for Prediction and Evaluation of Building Ventilation Performance

Natural ventilation has been used widely in buildings to deliver a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for occupants. It also reduces the consumption of energy in the built environment and dilutes the concentration of carbon dioxide. Various methods and techniques have been used to evaluate a...
