Abstract
The application of natural ventilation in buildings can help reduce overheating and demand for cooling and can play a key role in helping the UK meet its 2050 net-zero targets. During the summer of 2022, including a heatwave, a POE was conducted in a performing arts academy in London, which exploits multiple natural ventilation techniques and high thermal mass materials. Through monitoring the temperature, relative humidity and CO2 concentration of seven dance and acting studios, interviewing the building management team, the ventilation of the studios is mostly adequate, providing acceptable thermal comfort levels. Specifically, during the heatwave, the indoor temperature ranged from 5 to 9 oC less than external levels concluding the thermal performance successful. However, possible operational changes could further enhance the building’s performance.
