Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stack effect reduction alternatives in tall complex buildings in cold climates.The main problems in tall buildings occur in elevators.Such problems as elevator doors that do not close and exhaust airflows result in excessive pressure differences across elevator doors due to stack effect. Under the expected conditions causing these pressure differences, Field measurements are performed in three tall buildings. Each result of the measurements is analyzed in architectural design aspects. With these analysis, building design guidelines are proposed and analyzed by field measurements and computer simulations. |
