Dataset for the journal paper "Are simple models for natural ventilation suitable for shelter design?"
This dataset contains the annual simulation results for a single-room shelter under five natural ventilation scenarios (S01-S05), and located in Hitsats (Ethiopia). The simulations have been run using both EnergyPlus AirflowNetwork (AFN) and Contam. The dataset contains the results of outdoor temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity, indoor temperature, wind speed at the shelter, indoor concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), natural ventilation and infiltration.

Hitsats, Ethiopia
Documentation
Data collection method:
The dataset has been created through airflow building simulation using EnergyPlus AirflowNetwork (AFN) and Contam. The case study is represented by a single-room shelter located in Hitsats (Ethiopia). Five ventilation layouts: single-side ventilation wind-driven, cross-ventilation wind-driven, single-side ventilation buoyancy-driven, single-side two windows buoyancy-driven, and cross-ventilation buoyancy-driven.
Technical details and requirements:
The simulations have been run using EnergyPlus v.22.2 and Contam 3.4.0.1.
Additional information:
The data are organised in five sheets (S01-S05), one for each ventilation type: single-side ventilation wind-driven (S01), cross-ventilation wind-driven (S02), single-side ventilation buoyancy-driven (S03), single-side two windows buoyancy-driven (S04)and cross-ventilation buoyancy-driven (S05).
