| Figure 3. Chimneys and Stacks - University of Nottingham, Nottingham, England The ventilations stacks at the University of Nottingham make use of a novel wind-sail design to facilitate air movement though the buildings. In low wind conditions, warm air will move up and out of the stacks (Dean, 2001). |
| Figure 4. Floor plan - Pearson Education’s Edinburgh Gate, Harlow Town, England Edinburgh Gate is a fine example of a floor plan designed to create a flow path for natural ventilation. Office spaces are set up with the vertical elements, such as walls or bookshelves, placed parallel to the airflow. Doors to offices are designed to stay open, unless specifically shut by the occupant, to allow air movement through the office and into the atrium space (Dean, 2001). |

| Figure 5. Landscape - Pearson Education’s Edinburgh Gate, Harlow Town, England This illustration of roof plantings at the Edinburgh Gate building demonstrates how the exterior landscape can be designed to help minimize solar loads, lower the entering air temperature, and direct air-flows into a building. Roof vegetation also helps create a cooler roof surface thus reducing internal cooling loads (Dean, 2001). |
