We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest scientific contribution in Energy & Buildings (Elsevier).
This review article introduces a systematic and integrated framework for passive ventilation in thermally modernized and nearly zero-energy residential buildings, combining:
- Climate-responsive building aerodynamics
- Hybrid passive ventilation strategies
- Digital design and evaluation using CFD, Building Energy Simulation (BES), and experimental validation
The paper demonstrates how passive and hybrid ventilation can achieve meaningful energy savings while maintaining indoor environmental quality — bridging the gap between traditional passive design and advanced digital modelling.
