Table 4
Discomfort hour reduction (DBS) and energy consumption reduction (EBS) in percentage, as a comparison between the performance of the benchmark simulation scenario and each natural ventilation system (NSV) simulation scenario. These are indicated as follows: the first letters refer to the NVS used, the next letter is the first letter of the strategic location considered, the last one (A: heavy concrete envelope or B: medium-light), refers to the corresponding simulation model.
