Garage Ventilation
VENTILATION by natural forces, finds application in industrial plants, public buildings, schools, dwellings, garages, and in farm buildings. The natural forces available for moving air into, through and out of buildings are: (a) wind forces, and (b) the difference in temperature between the air inside and outside a building. The air movement may be caused by either of these forces acting alone or by a combination of the two, depending upon atmospheric conditions, building design and loca tion. The ventilating results obtained will vary, from time to time, due to variation in the velocity and direction of the wind and the heat gener ated in the building. The arrangement, location, and- control of the ventilating openings should be such that the two forces act cooperatively rather than in opposition.
WIND FORCES
In considering the use of natural wind forces for producing ventilation, account must be taken of: (1) average wind velocity, (2) prevailing wind, direction, (3) seasonal and daily variations in velocity and direction, and (4) local wind interference by nearby buildings, hills or other obstructions of similar nature.
Values are given in Table 1, Chapter 7 for the average summer wind velocities and the prevailing wind directions in various localities through out the United States, while Table 2, Chapter 6, lists similar values for the winter. In almost all localities the summer wind velocities are lower than those in the winter, and in about two-thirds of the localities the prevailing direction is different during the summer and winter. While the tables give no average velocities below 5 mph, there will be times when the velocity is lower, even in localities where the seasonal average is con siderably above 5 mph. There are relatively few places where the velocity falls below one half of the average for many hours per month. Con sequently, if the natural ventilating system is designed for wind velocities of one-half of the average seasonal velocity, it should prove satisfactory in almost every case.
