This study investigated the ability of wind-catcher as an environmentally friendly component to provide natural ventilation for indoor environments and intended to improve the overall efficiency of the existing designs of modern wind-catchers. In fact this thesis attempts to answer this question as to if it is possible to apply traditional design of wind-catchers to enhance the design of modern wind-catchers. Wind-catchers are vertical towers which are installed above buildings to catch and introduce fresh and cool air into the indoor environment and exhaust inside polluted and hot air to the outside. In order to improve overall efficacy of contemporary wind-catchers the study focuses on the effects of applying vertical louvres, which have been used in traditional systems, and horizontal louvres, which are applied in contemporary wind-catchers. The aims are therefore to compare the performance of these two types of louvres in the system. For this reason, a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was chosen to simulate and study the air movement in and around a wind-catcher when using vertical and horizontal louvres. The results indicate significant improvements on the wind-catcher’s performance by applying vertical louvres (up to 28%). Although applying vertical louvres helps to improve the performance of the windcatchers, diagonal main partitions which have been used in contemporary wind-catchers create restrictions against air entry. Therefore, the effects of applying other forms of main partitions such as perpendicular and H shape partitions were investigated. The results of this investigation reveal that applying H shape partitions can improve the efficiency of the system under certain conditions (when the prevailing wind blows against a bigger segment) and the opposite phenomena was observed when then direction of the prevailing wind changed.

The thesis examines the effect of wind catchers and solar chimneys in multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) in Mumbai to help improve indoor thermal comfort. The implementation of wind catchers and solar chimneys in MURBs was selected as the most applicable passive cooling solution. Fundamental heat loss equations and duct loss design procedures were used to determine the sizing and feasibility of the solution and were verified against discretized calculation methods and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The discretized results were found to be comparable to the CFD with an error margin of 10%. The combination of the wind catcher and solar chimney solution was able to reduce the total annual discomfort time by a minimum of 71% using ASHRAE Standard 55. The preliminary results from the findings are promising and establishes the necessary precedence for further research to be conducted.

This book contains the proceedings of the fifth International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature (Eco-Architecture 2014). Eco-Architecture implies a new approach to the design process intended to harmonise its products with nature. This involves ideas such as minimum use of energy at each stage of the building process, taking into account the amount required during the extraction and transportation of materials, their fabrication, assembly, building erection, maintenance and eventual future recycling. Another important issue is the adaptation of the architectural design to the natural environment, learning from nature and long time honoured samples of traditional constructions. The papers in this book deal with topics such as building technologies, design by passive systems, design with nature, cultural sensitivity, life cycle assessment, resources and rehabilitation and many others. Also included are case studies from many different places around the world. Eco-Architecture by definition is a highly multi-disciplinary subject. Eco-Architecture V: Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature will therefore be of interest to, in addition to architects, many other professionals, including engineers, planners, physical scientists, sociologists and economists. Topics covered include: Design with nature; Energy efficiency; Building technologies; Ecological impacts of materials; Bioclimatic design; Water quality; Green facades; Ecological and cultural sensitivity; Education and training; Case studies; Design by passive systems; Adapted reuse; Life cycle assessment and durability; Transformative design; Sustainability indices in architecture.
