| Abstract |
The objectives of this study are to clarify the impacts of the stack effect in super high-rise residential complex and to present methods to reduce the stack effect. For the evaluation of the impact of the stack effect, computer program simulations based on the network model were performed for a real super high-rise residential building. The results of the evaluation show that the problems due to the stack effect may be reduced by adequate architectural design solutions such as increasing air-tightness of building envelope, zoning the space, and installing vestibules around entrance doors and elevator hall door. |
