Adaptive comfort through wind driven ventilation can only be used if...

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the prerequisites for using adaptive comfort through wind-driven ventilation.

Option 1: operable windows and minimal air pollution. This statement identifies two key factors that influence wind-driven ventilation. First, operable windows are necessary because they provide the controllable openings that allow outdoor air to flow into and out of the building when wind is favorable. Without openings that can be opened and closed, wind-driven ventilation cannot occur effectively. Second, minimal air pollution is important because even if air can move through the building, high outdoor pollutant levels can degrade indoor air quality and potentially pose health risks or discomfort, reducing the comfort benefits of natural ventilation.

Why this option makes sense compared to potential alternatives (even though alternatives aren’t provided here): if windows aren’t operable, passive cooling via wind is hindered or impossible. If outdoor air is heavily polluted, the quality of the indoor environment may worsen rather than improve, diminishing the adaptive comfort benefits. Therefore, both controllable openings and good outdoor air quality are practical prerequisites for safely and effectively using wind-driven ventilation.

Since the available options path only includes this one statement, there is nothing to compare against within this set. However, the logic remains: without operable openings, wind cannot drive ventilation, and without clean outdoor air, the ventilation could harm comfort and health rather than improve it.
