	  abstract     = {Appropriate ventilation in a classroom is helpful for
enhancing air exchange rate and student concentration. This study
focuses on the effects of fenestration in a four-story school building by
performing numerical simulation of a building when considering
indoor and outdoor environments simultaneously. The wind profile
function embedded in PHOENICS code was set as the inlet boundary
condition in a suburban environment. Sixteen fenestration
combinations were compared in a classroom containing thirty seats.
This study evaluates mean age of air (AGE) and airflow pattern of a
classroom on different floors. Considering both wind profile and
fenestration effects, the airflow on higher floors is channeled toward
the area near ceiling in a room and causes older mean age of air in the
breathing zone. The results in this study serve as a useful guide for
enhancing natural ventilation in a typical school building.},
