Utilization of Natural Ventilation for Hot and Humid Singapore
Abstract Natural ventilation plays a vital role in improving indoor thermal comfort and air quality as well as reducing the buildings’ cooling energy consumptions in hot humid Singapore. In Singapore, most residential buildings and schools are designed to be naturally ventilated in order to promote sustainable design and development. This book chapter will discuss some of the key findings of research studies done in Singapore to understand the performance of naturally ventilated buildings in Singapore as well as the development of guidelines for the design and performance evaluation of naturally ventilated buildings. The content will include the importance of natural ventilation for hot humid Singapore, Singapore’s climate condition, and design principles for naturally ventilation, the development of guidelines or rating tool for the assessment of naturally ventilated spaces by our construction authority, and the development of thermal comfort criteria for the assessment of thermal comfort for naturally ventilated spaces. Cases will be utilized to illustrate the successful implementation of natural ventilation in Singapore.
