1.2.5.2.2. Stack Ventilation

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is stack ventilation?

   Hint

   Think about how warm air behaves in a room.

2. 2.

   Name one benefit of stack ventilation.

   Hint

   Consider how air moves naturally.

3. 3.

   What is the primary mechanism of stack ventilation?

   • Air cooling
   • Temperature difference
   • Mechanical fan

   Hint

   Think about how heat moves in a building.

4. 4.

   True or False: Stack ventilation requires mechanical systems to function effectively.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider what makes stack ventilation 'passive'.

5. 5.

   Design a stack ventilation system for a hypothetical multi-story building to maximize efficiency while considering room layouts and environmental factors.

   Hint

   Consider how the building’s orientation affects airflow.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the potential energy savings achieved through a well-designed stack ventilation system in a commercial setting compared to one using mechanical ventilation.

   Hint

   Reflect on how mechanical systems consume energy versus passive methods.
