The effects of wind protective urban arrangements on the ventilation energy consumption

A model has been set up for estimating the reduction in ventilation energy consumption through the use of wind protective measures at different urban levels. The effects of planning and urban wind protective measures on ventilation energy consumption appear to be a function of the urban level considered. The efficiency of such measures is partly offset by occupants' behaviour. Starting from a pessimistic assumption with respect to occupants' behaviour, in the Dutch situation with a temperate climate ventilation energy consumption can be reduced by roughly 1 to 15%. However, in colder climates and with a more optimistic assumption of occupants' behaviour the efficiencies may well be higher. © 1992.
