Abstract
The cooling potential of night ventilation largely depends on the heat
exchange at the internal room surfaces. During night time, increased heat
transfer on a vertical wall is expected due to cool supply air that flows along
the internal wall surface from the top of the wall. This paper presents an
experimental study of the cooling of wall surfaces in a test room by mechanical
night-time ventilation. Significant improvement of indoor thermal environment
is presented resulting from the enhanced internal convection heat transfer.
