Abstract
On this era of increasing energy demand, natural ventilation appears to be the proper solution as it provides
the necessary ventilation required for the room by means of the natural forces, such as wind. It ensures
salubrity and pleasant indoor climate through least possible energy consumption at least possible cost. Our
project aims to identify the air velocities and air change per hour in a cross ventilated room through numerical
predictions. The standards for natural ventilation are taken into account along with the heat transfer concepts
and the analysis is carried out on different shapes of inlets and outlets at different heights. The models were
analyzed using CFD software by using SIMPLE and SIMPLEC algorithm to solve the equations and the
results are compared.
