Abstract
The present study investigated the influence of different roof shapes on the natural ventilation potential of an isolated low-rise building by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The Barrel Vault, Gable, Pyramid and Shed roof were chosen for the study. The Realizable k-ε turbulent model was adopted in the CFD simulations. The wind which obeyed power law equation was set to approach the building model at eight different angles. The natural ventilation potential of the ground and the upper floors of the building model were studied separately with the assumption of no cross ventilation between both floors. The Shed roof shape was found out to be the highest performer in inducing natural ventilation, the Barrel Vault roof came in second, followed by the Gable roof and lastly, the Pyramid roof. It was proven that different roof shapes will have significant influence on the natural ventilation potential of a building.
