Engineered Natural Ventilation for Climate Resilient Buildings and Occupants
This session explores how mixed-mode ventilation and cooling can enhance resilience and livability in dense urban environments like New York. We'll examine how buildings can be designed to manage noise, air quality, and airflow, using examples like Limberlost Place and 1014 Fifth Ave. Mixed-mode systems offer flexibility during disruptions while promoting comfort, well-being, and connection to outdoors—key elements of a human-centric, climate-adaptable design approach suited to today’s evolving cities.
