EFFECT OF THE MONITOR ROOF ON THE INDOOR THERMAL ENVIRONMENT AND PROPERTY OF NATURAL VENTILATION IN THE ROOM

Abstract

In this paper, measurements and visualization of natural ventilation were performed in the building with a monitor roof in order to examine the effect on the indoor thermal environment and the ventilation property. As a result, it was suggested that a monitor roof was effective to improve the indoor thermal environment because it caused vertical ventilation driven by the difference of temperature between indoor and outdoor or between above and below and it brought increase of discharge rate and drop of indoor.
