Abstract
The overall objective of this paper is to evaluate design expressions for single-sided ventilation and find the most suitable that would in average perform well, while reducing the risk of overestimating air flows in individual cases. The design expression needs to be both simple and fair to fit the scope of standards and regulations in the best way. This has been done by comparing design expressions using parameter variations, comparison to wind-tunnel experiments and full-scale outdoor measurements. A modified De Gids & Phaff method showed to be a simplified and fair calculation method that would improve the support of ventilative cooling in future standards and regulations, by making it simple to predict the air flows in buildings.
