Summary

Delft graduation thesis exploring how an office design relying purely on natural forces could combine two passive drivers: sun-heated chimneys and wind-assisted extract outlets. Ducts with minimal resistance are adopted so that buoyancy and wind can take over from mechanical fans, and the work weighs the resulting electricity savings alongside effects on indoor comfort and other aspects of building performance.
