  • Abstract
Indoor thermal comfort can be significantly improved by natural ventilation with reasonable architectural design. In order to compare natural ventilation effect, the distribution of velocity field, temperature field and the PMV in different architecture layout and orientation design were analyzed with house types in Best House Type Competition. It was found that indoor natural ventilation effect was obviously improved by means of altering the layout and orientation, where the maximum velocity varied from 0.24m/s to 0.82m/s. And the temperature decreased 0.9℃ and the value of PMV was more approximate to comfort.
