Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to provide guidelines on the factors required to achieve successful natural ventilation in offices in summer by the use of openable windows. A combination of physical and computer modelling was used to examine the limiting conditions for natural ventilation through one external facade to be effective in providing a comfortable and healthy indoor environment on a still, warm summer day. The first section of this document contains the design guidelines. Subsequent sections summarise the research and the findings from which the guidelines were compiled.
