DESCRIPTION:Passive stack ventilation is one of a number of energy saving 
 features commonly incorporated into modern sustainable building designs. T
 he design of large\, multi-compartment buildings poses a particular challe
 nge for passive ventilation design due to the interaction between heat and
  air flows through different building zones. Using a simple mathematical m
 odel\, we determine a number of rules of thumb for preliminary ventilation
  design in multi-storey buildings. In particular we highlight how a dimens
 ionless analysis may be used to balance key design parameters and provide 
 an intuitive understanding of the behaviour of these ventilation flows.
