Analysis of Summer Overheating in Elementary School Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

In elementary school buildings, a risk of summer overheating occurs due to large windows which secure and high quality of daylight. It leads to large solar gains. The article analyzes an effect of sun-shading design interacting with ventilation modes for the internal air temperature. Analysis was done with simulation calculation. Results show that the maximum temperature does not fall below θai = 28°C in any case of all alternatives and combinations. In this case, cooling is necessary.
