- Abstract:
- The influence of a polyvinyl chloride(PVC)-panel on the cooling load of a residential apartment in Mashad, Iran, is analyzed by the DeST-h software.And the summer natural ventilation of the residential apartment is investigated to determine the wind speed into the apartment through the computational fluid dynamics software.The evaluation results of the indoor wind velocity show that most parts of the apartment are comfortable.The cooling load of the penthouse can be decreased about 10.5% or 6.5% when an air layer exists or does not exist between the ceiling and the PVC-panel, respectively, indicating that the existence of the air layer can decrease the cooling load.However, the effect of the increase in the air layer’s thickness on the decrease in the cooling load is obvious.Adding a thin layer of air between the ceiling and the PVC-panel is a good step toward sustainable buildings.
