Sustainable tall buildings that provide comfortable,
\r\nhealthy and efficient indoor environments are clearly desirable as the
\r\ndensification of living and working space for the world’s increasing
\r\npopulation proceeds. For environmental concerns, these buildings
\r\nmust also be energy efficient. One component of these tasks is the
\r\nprovision of indoor air quality and thermal comfort, which can be
\r\nenhanced with natural ventilation by the supply of fresh air. Working
\r\nspaces can only be naturally ventilated with connections to the
\r\noutdoors utilizing operable windows, double facades, ventilation
\r\nstacks, balconies, patios, terraces and skygardens. Large amounts of
\r\nfresh air can be provided to the indoor spaces without mechanical
\r\nair-conditioning systems, which are widely employed in
\r\ncontemporary tall buildings.
\r\nThis paper tends to present the concept of natural ventilation for
\r\nsustainable tall office buildings in order to achieve healthy and
\r\ncomfortable working spaces, as well as energy efficient
\r\nenvironments. Initially the historical evolution of ventilation
\r\nstrategies for tall buildings is presented, beginning with natural
\r\nventilation and continuing with the introduction of mechanical airconditioning
\r\nsystems. Then the emergence of natural ventilation due
\r\nto the health and environmental concerns in tall buildings is handled,
\r\nand the strategies for implementing this strategy are revealed. In the
\r\nnext section, a number of case studies that utilize this strategy are
\r\ninvestigated. Finally, how tall office buildings can benefit from this
\r\nstrategy is discussed.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), \"Buildings and\r\nClimate Change\u201d, available online: http:\/\/www.unep.org\/Documents.\r\nMultilingual\/Default.asp?DocumentID=502&ArticleID=5545&l=en,\r\n2007, Accessed on April 2014.\r\n[2] M.
