Natural ventilated buildings: Use of controls for changing indoor climate

This study is based on the analysis of the data obtained through a yearlong thermal comfort survey in one of the even naturally ventilated buildings in Oxford. It is concerned with how much the use of available controls contributes to thermal comfort by modifying the indoor thermal environment. The results show that the availability of the controls and their appropriate use plays a significant role in modifying the indoor thermal conditions. Cross ventilation plays a significant role in lowering the indoor temperature.
