  2. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    During the cooling season, the stack effect is reversed, but is typically weaker due to lower temperature differences. [1] In a modern high-rise building with a well-sealed envelope, the stack effect can create significant pressure differences that must be given design consideration and may need to be addressed with mechanical ventilation ...

  3. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

    Stack ventilation - Cross ventilation is an effective cooling strategy, however, wind is an unreliable resource. Stack ventilation is an alternative design strategy that relies on the buoyancy of warm air to rise and exit through openings located at ceiling height. Cooler outside air replaces the rising warm air through carefully designed ...

  4. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

    Research aiming at the development of natural ventilation systems featuring heat recovery have been made as early as 1993 where Shultz et al. [8] proposed and tested a chimney type design relying on stack effect while recovering heat using a large counterflow recuperator constructed from corrugated galvanized iron. Both supply and exhaust ...

  5. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

    Stack ventilation naturally rising out through the stainless steel chimneys enhances the air flow through the building. The movement of air across the chimney tops enhances the stack effect. During warm, still days, the building relies mostly on the stack effect while air is taken from the shady north side of the building.

  6. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    Ventilation should be considered for its relationship to "venting" for appliances and combustion equipment such as water heaters, furnaces, boilers, and wood stoves. Most importantly, building ventilation design must be careful to avoid the backdraft of combustion products from "naturally vented" appliances into the occupied space.

  7. Passive house - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

    Use of passive natural ventilation is an integral component of passive house design where ambient temperature is conducive—either by singular or cross ventilation, by a simple opening or enhanced by the stack effect from smaller ingress with larger egress windows and/or clerestory-operable skylight.

  8. Chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney

    The term smokestack (colloquially, stack) is also used when referring to locomotive chimneys or ship chimneys, and the term funnel can also be used. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The height of a chimney influences its ability to transfer flue gases to the external environment via stack effect .

  9. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

    Airtightness is the fundamental building property that impacts infiltration and exfiltration (the uncontrolled inward and outward leakage of outdoor air through cracks, interstices or other unintentional openings of a building, caused by pressure effects of the wind and/or stack effect). [2]
