HVAC Ventilation Strategies for Sustainable Building Design

Sustainable building design demands innovative HVAC ventilation solutions that balance energy efficiency with indoor air quality. As buildings account for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions, integrating smart ventilation systems has become crucial for green construction projects.

As the demand for energy-efficient and resilient buildings grows, the integration of advanced ventilation technologies will continue to shape the future of architecture, fostering healthier and more sustainable built environments.

Achieving sustainable architecture through the integration of ...

These results highlight the adaptability and effectiveness of passive systems like the shavadoon, wind catchers, and louvers to minimize mechanical energy demand and support sustainable and resilient building practices that are both climate-responsive and architecturally relevant (Figure 15).

We are happy to inform you that the Energy and Buildings special issue: " Resilient Ventilation in Relation to Health, Safety, and Climate Change", including also further developed papers from the AIVC 2022 conference, has been published.In this special issue, the role of ventilation and infiltration in building decarbonization, and improvement of indoor air quality including epidemic ...

Reimagining Residential Buildings

Residential buildings must now be designed and retrofitted as adaptive climate-health-work systems rather than as static housing units. This structured literature review synthesises peer-reviewed journal and conference evidence on residential taxonomy, ventilation , indoor environmental quality, overheating, airborne infection resilience, post-pandemic occupancy changes and future ...

Is a Ventilation System Healthy? What Sustainable Building Experts Say As green construction continues to advance, one question increasingly takes centre stage: is a ventilation system healthy? While the industry has long focused on energy-efficient insulation, triple glazing, and airtightness, ventilation is now under greater scrutiny—not just for sustainability, but for occupant wellbeing ...
