Existing methods for natural ventilation potential analysis are reviewed and discussed in this paper. Based on related research results, a simple natural ventilation potential prediction model for two-opening room is developed considering climatic conditions, local terrain conditions, building opening area and thermal comfort zone. In this model, several major cities in southern China are selected and the natural ventilation potential is analyzed by using the evaluation index of effective hours and effective air change rates. It shows that residential buildings in the south of China are suitable for natural ventilation generally, while effect differ significantly by region and season. The analysis results can help the designers to formulate the proper ventilation strategy and to make assessment of energy-saving effect.
