Abstract

With the increase in problems resulting from the lack of necessary use of natural ventilation in modern buildings and the lack of sufficient land and open spaces surrounding the building, the research problem emerged: the necessity of designing and proposing a code (sustainable ventilation) to evaluate treatments and strategies for the impact of air movement in architecture, as natural ventilation is one of the The important environmental elements for providing a healthy and comfortable environment in buildings in general and residential buildings in particular, which are addressed in this research paper, contribute to investigating the possibility of identifying treatments and strategies for the impact of air movement in architecture and indoor air quality. The research methodology is based on defining the research problem and then presenting The importance of the research field, determining the objectives, then studying previous literature related to the research, choosing the proposed measurement method and the reasons for choosing the applied study samples, then making questionnaire forms to conduct the research survey. The sample of the research study was chosen from 63 people who are experts in codes of green environmental treatments and studies of new and renewable energy and its applications in architecture and those concerned. Designed and approved by university professors, the codes were also presented to architects, designers, and specialists in the field of environmental architecture. It was also presented to students of the Department of Architecture in many universities and engineering institutes whose studies include environmental design and planning courses. The random method was excluded because it was not suitable for research and did not obtain Misleading opinions or answers for reasons outside the scope of the research, such as weak culture or the spread of misconceptions about the concept of treatments and strategies for the impact of air movement in architecture among the public, or a lack of understanding of the criteria presented in the questionnaires. Then the results and observations were monitored and it was noted that all strategies and treatments for air movement present in the proposed code It is very influential in ventilation and the indoor air quality of spaces. Therefore, it was observed that there were slight differences that were fairly similar in the averages of their values in the questionnaires resulting from the applied research study, but these differences must be noted and emphasized because of their importance when making a comparison in choosing between the appropriate strategy before using it inside the building, which indicates The success of the proposed ventilation code and its effectiveness if applied, as the maximum success indicators of the strategy followed reached an average value of (5) in the strategy (directing and using openings to achieve natural ventilation), while the minimum indicators of success of the strategy followed reached an average value of (3) in the strategy (Using water walls on facades exposed to the sun to cool the air) The research paper recommends and proposes applying the applied research study on a larger scale and on a larger scale to all segments of society.
