Project description |
The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between Bureau of Meteorology monitoring stations and a variety of dwelling types through monitoring of wind conditions in south-east Queensland. The research will verify and quantify the role natural ventilation has in cooling residences in sub-tropical climates, inform the development of a lot-rating methodology for south-east Queensland and may also make a recommendation that the existing lot-rating methodology in use in other parts of Australia, be modified to allow for the impact of ventilation. The research is also expected to highlight the fundamental importance of good sub-division and dwelling design and will also inform the ongoing development of thermal programs.
