After learning about the principles of buoyancy ventilation and its application to building programs, a thermal scheme is needed to be established for different cases of retrofit.
Lacaton Vassal retrofit post-war residential towers in France, enhancing the buildings’ thermal performance on top of providing addition floor spaces. This report analyzes the application of their strategy to the Quebec context.
Modern active system for ventilation constantly affect the way buildings are designed yet its evolvement and improvement are hard to keep track of. This excercise aims to compare the systems used in MURBs.
This Guidebook will provide guidelines on the best practices of incorporating hybrid ventilation into the retrofit (due April 2024)
