Development of integrated daylighting and natural ventilation system for energy efficiency in buildings for the tropics / Salmah Ahmed

Natural ventilation and daylighting are two passive strategies that can improve the indoor performance as well as reduce energy consumption in buildings. Both strategies when used appropriately increase indoor quality and comfort. In terms of energy costs, daylighting can significantly reduce artifi...
