Analysis of the air flow in selected buildings

Airflow properties are most apparent adjacent to the surface of the building, because there take place any reactions between liquid and solid object. Air exchange rate is associated with air flow through a building by natural - through small openings and cracks in the structure. Due to leakages in the building construction, opening and closing of windows, the air in the building shifts. The value of air exchange rate is hard to predict and depend of several variables - wind speed, difference between outside and inside temperatures, the quality of the building construction. The paper analyzed the air flow in selected buildings and quantified the value of air pressure differences and the air exchange rate with the emphasis on specification of aerodynamic coefficients.
