DESCRIPTION:Dr Fitzgerald’s talk will cover:\n\n• Building energy usag
 e:\nthe role of the built environment in carbon emissions and how signific
 ant the impact of a ‘low energy’ building can be.\n\n• Traditional n
 atural ventilation:advantages and disadvantages of traditional natural ven
 tilation\, its impact on thermal comfort and well-being \n\n• Examples o
 f natural ventilation: case studies showing examples of naturally ventilat
 ed buildings\, their successes and what can be learned from them.\n\n• D
 esigning natural ventilation: exploration of the different modes of ventil
 ation that can occur in more complex buildings and how these can be modell
 ed and predicted\; simple spaces vs. complex spaces\; modelling techniques
  including water bath videos and computational fluid dynamics \n\n• Natu
 ral ventilation strategies: interrogating the traditional approach to natu
 ral ventilation\, its pitfalls and explaining how to use different strateg
 ies at different times of the year\; displacement ventilation\; mixing ven
 tilation.\n\n• Energy savings: discussing the energy savings possible by
  using data from monitored completed projects \n\n• Case studies: differ
 ent systems in various building types\; system types and controls.\n
