Brian Ford from the University of Nottingham presented the basic principles and strategic options for natural ventilation of tall buildings, and referred to prominent examples which have adopted a 'mixed mode' approach at the CTBUH 8th World Congress in Dubai. The presentation concluded that in terms of designing the envelope and its openings, the challenges for tall buildings are greater than for low rise, primarily because the potential magnitudes of the driving forces become greater and their relative magnitudes can vary over a wider range.
