1.Introduction
Wind-drivencrossventilationisconsideredtobeapromisingenergy-effectivestrategy,sinceitutilizesnature’spower.AdjustingtheindoorenvironmentbynaturalcrossventilationwasthetraditionalmethodinhotandhumidregionsofAsiaincludingJapan.However,inmodernbuildings,wherecertainty,reliability,andefficiencyarepreferred,theuseofwind-drivencrossventilationaloneisinadequate.
Ahybridairconditioningsystemwithcontrollednaturalventilation,oracombinationofnaturalventilationwithmechanicalairconditioningisconsideredtobeabletoovercomethedeficiencyofwind-drivencrossventilation,andhassignificantenergy-reducingeffects.Manystudieshavebeenconductedonnaturalventilationsystemsandhybridair-conditioningsystemsinEuropeandJapan。
