Children in kindergartens spend between five and ten hours a day, the quality of air inside is very important. Kindergartens are public buildings. Kindergartens in Poland do not have mechanical ventilation, most often use stack ventilation, which is frequently aided by airing. The three considered buildings were located in eastern Europe. The main objective of the research was to evaluate the interior conditions, especially with regard to carbon dioxide concentration. In the afternoon, the permissible level of carbon dioxide concentration was substantially exceeded (by 190% at the most in first series of measurement). The present research has resulted in considerable improvement of indoor conditions in the analyzed kindergartens (less than 140% in third series of measurement). The presence of children and ventilation habits seemed to be the main determinants of IAQ and carbon dioxide.

Abstract Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space by natural means. There are two types of natural ventilation occurring in buildings: winddriven ventilation and buoyancy driven or stack ventilation. The most efficient design for natural ventilation in buildings should implement both types of natural ventilation. Stack ventilation which is temperature induced is driven by buoyancy making it less dependent on wind and its direction. Heat emitted causes a temperature difference between two adjoining volumes of air, the warmer air will have lower density and be more buoyant thus will rise above the cold air creating an upward air stream. Combining the wind driven and the buoyancy driven ventilation will be investigated in this study through the use of a windcatcher natural ventilation system. Stack driven air rises as it leaves the windcatcher and it is replaced with fresh air from outside as it enters through the positively pressured windward side. To achieve this, CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tool is used to simulate the air flow in a three dimensional room fitted with a windcatcher based on the winddriven ventilation alone, buoyancy driven ventilation alone, and combined buoyancy and winddriven ventilation. Different wind speeds between 0 up to 2.5 m/s are applied and the total air flow rate through the windcatcher is investigated with and without temperature of 350 K applied at the windcatcher’s outlet wall. As the wind speed increased the efficiency of the solar windcatcher decreased.

The article is focused on the airflow in a ventilation system in a building. The work examines the methods which enhance the chimney effect. In this paper, three cases with different chimneys were analyzed for the full-scale experiment. These cases were characterized by different geometrical and material parameters, leading to differences in the intensity of the ventilation airflow. The common denominator of the cases was the room with the air inlet and outlet to the ventilation system. The differences between the experimental cases concerned the chimney canal itself, and more precisely its part protruding above the roof slope. The first experimental case concerned a ventilation canal made in a traditional way, from solid ceramic brick. The second experimental case concerned the part that led out above the roof slope with a transparent barrier, called a solar chimney. In the third experimental case, a rotary type of chimney cap was installed on the chimney to improve the efficiency of stack ventilation. All these cases were used to determine the performance of natural ventilation—Air Change per Hour (CH). Additionally, the paper presents a technical and economic comparison of the solutions used.
