<p>This document establishes a design process for natural, mechanical, and hybrid (combination) ventilative cooling systems to reduce overheating and cooling demand in non-residential buildings. The aim is to estimate the potential of ventilative cooling before using other cooling means such as supplementary and/or mechanical cooling in order to fulfil the thermal comfort requirements in an energy efficient way.</p>
<p>Excluded:</p>
<ul>
<li>The natural ventilation of which airflow path contains plural spaces in series that require thermal comfort.</li>
<li>The calculation methods for ventilation air flow rates, room temperature and cooling demand, but references to these methods may be given.</li>
