Objective
A) To evaluate and translate the knowledge acquired within the frame of the European research on passive ventilation of buildings, as well as the existing information and knowledge, into a complete educational package dealing with the efficient use of passive ventilation for buildings
B) To create the necessary educational infrastructure that can be transferred to all educational activities and can be used by all professionalsinvolved in the field of buildings
C) To provide building professionals with all necessary knowledge, tools and information on the efficient use of passive ventilation in buildings in order to decrease the energy consumption for cooling purposes, increase the indoor thermal comfort levels and improve indoor air quality.
The training package developed with AIOLOS will include educational material in the form of a handbook, brochures, educational slides, didactic software, technical manuals, guidelines, market information etc.
The Handbook (currently under preparation) will be composed of six chapters covering fundamental and state of the art issues of natural ventilation
The brochures (currently under preparartion) will be based on case studies in naturally ventilated buildings covering a wide range of building types/use and various climatic conditions.
The software AIOLOS (currently under preparation) will be composed of an airflow model which will be coupled with a thermal model. The models will have special facilities to serve the educational purpose, such as sensitivity analysis for various parameters influencing natural ventilaton, graphical outputs etc.
Dissemination and testing of the educational material will be carried out through two pilot seminars. The first has been scheduled to take place in Lyon (21-22 November 1996). The second will be held in Athens by the end of the project (May 1997).
