DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, in one embodiment of the present invention, a method for designing a ventilation structure for a building 1 includes a comparison step of comparing analysis results (see Figures 5 to 6) regarding a specified ventilation performance by a building model (A) M1 (see Figure 3) in which a natural ventilation structure is provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1 (see Figures 1 to 2) as an upper natural ventilation structure 3 with analysis results (see Figures 5 to 6) regarding the above specified ventilation performance by a specified building model (B) M2 (see Figure 3) in which a specified mechanical ventilation structure having a specified exhaust volume is provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1 instead of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 as a specified upper mechanical ventilation structure 4, and a judgment step of determining whether to adopt the upper natural ventilation structure 3 or the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4 as the ventilation structure for the building 1 based on the comparison result in the comparison step (see Figure 7), and the comparison result in the comparison step is obtained by an analysis that identifies the external environment including outside temperature information as well as wind direction information and wind speed information.

[0020] According to the above configuration, in the comparison step, a highly accurate analysis result regarding the predetermined ventilation performance by the building model (A) M1 and the predetermined building model (B) M2 can be obtained by the analysis that specifies the external environment including the outside temperature information, the wind direction information, and the wind speed information. Therefore, in the judgment step, it is easy to judge whether to adopt the upper natural ventilation structure 3 or the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4. Therefore, it is easy to judge whether to adopt the natural ventilation structure or the mechanical ventilation structure as the ventilation structure to be provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1. Note that the external environment may include, for example, solar radiation in addition to the outside temperature information, the wind direction information, and the wind speed information. In this case, the configuration may be such that the presence or absence of solar radiation (see FIG. 7) is specified as the external environment. Note that FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 show the results of the analysis using a fluid / thermal / environment simulation software ("FlowDesigner" manufactured by Advanced Knowledge Research Institute Co., Ltd.). In addition to "FlowDesigner", "Grasshopper" or the like may be used. The conditions for obtaining the results of Figures 5 and 6 using FlowDesigner are as follows: In summer, the outdoor temperature is 35°C, and the solar radiation on the roof is 800W / m 2 , roofing material thermal transmittance is 3.8W / m 2 The temperature was set to 0.4°C, and during the intermediate season, the outside temperature information and solar radiation on the roof were not set. The wind direction and wind speed information were set to two conditions: a wind speed of 2.7 m / s from the east-northeast to the west-southwest, and no wind.

[0021] The predetermined ventilation performance includes the ventilation volume of the building 1, the wind speed distribution in a predetermined horizontal cross section of the building space, or both of them (see Figs. 5 to 7). When the predetermined ventilation performance includes the ventilation volume of the building 1, a highly accurate analysis result of the ventilation volume by the building model (A) M1 and the predetermined building model (B) M2 (see Figs. 5 to 7) can be obtained in the comparison step, so that it is easy to determine which of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 and the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4 should be adopted in the judgment step. In the example shown in Figs. 5 to 7, the ventilation volume of the building 1 correlates with the volume of air ventilated per hour, and is specifically indicated by a value obtained by dividing the volume by the volume of the building 1 (that is, specifically, it indicates how many times the volume of air of the building 1 is ventilated per hour). In addition, when the above-mentioned predetermined ventilation performance includes the wind speed distribution in a predetermined horizontal cross section of the building 1, the comparison step can obtain a highly accurate analysis result of the wind speed distribution by the building model (A) M1 and the above-mentioned predetermined building model (B) M2 (see Figs. 5-6), so that in the judgment step, it is easy to judge whether to adopt the upper natural ventilation structure 3 or the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4. By checking the wind speed distribution in the building 1, it is possible to confirm that an excessive wind speed that interferes with work, etc. is not occurring. Since it is preferable to obtain as much ventilation volume as possible within a range where there is no problem with the wind speed distribution in the building 1, it is preferable that the above-mentioned predetermined ventilation performance includes both the ventilation volume of the building 1 and the wind speed distribution in a predetermined horizontal cross section of the building 1. Note that the analysis results shown in Figs. 5-7 are obtained by "FlowDesigner" as described above, but equivalent analysis results can also be obtained by using an analysis tool such as "Grasshopper".

[0022] The comparison results in the comparison step include a first comparison result obtained by an analysis in which the external environment is set to a first condition (see FIG. 7) in which the outside air temperature information is a predetermined temperature, and the wind direction information and wind speed information are a predetermined wind direction and a predetermined wind speed, and a second comparison result obtained by an analysis in which the external environment is set to a second condition (see FIG. 7) in which the outside air temperature information is the predetermined temperature, the wind direction information is the predetermined wind direction, and the wind speed information is equal to or greater than 0 m / s and less than the predetermined wind speed. According to the above configuration, it is possible to obtain a comparison result assuming both a case in which a lot of wind is obtained and a case in which no wind or almost no wind is obtained when the outside air temperature information is a predetermined temperature, so that it is easy to determine whether to adopt the upper natural ventilation structure 3 or the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4.

[0023] The first condition is set to a predetermined temperature, a predetermined wind direction, and a predetermined wind speed that are typical of summer obtained based on the measurement data of the external environment of the building 1. According to the above configuration, by obtaining a comparison result assuming both a case where the external environment is set to a temperature, wind direction, and wind speed that are typical of summer when the outdoor air temperature information is highest throughout the year, and a case where no or almost no wind is obtained despite the same temperature, it is possible to evaluate the risk of hot spots occurring in the building 1, which can be a problem in summer, and therefore it is easy to determine whether to adopt the upper natural ventilation structure 3 or the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4. In this case, if the presence or absence of solar radiation is also specified as the external environment, it is preferable to set the first condition to "with solar radiation" (see FIG. 7), which further increases the risk of hot spots occurring.

[0024] The comparison result in the comparison step includes a third comparison result obtained by an analysis in which the external environment is set to a third condition in which the outside air temperature information is less than the predetermined temperature, the wind direction information is the predetermined wind direction, and the wind speed information is 0 m / s or more and less than the predetermined wind speed. According to the above configuration, the comparison result can be obtained by the third condition in addition to the first and second conditions, so that it is easy to determine which of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 and the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4 should be adopted. In this case, for example, by obtaining a comparison result assuming that the external environment is a temperature that is a typical example in intermediate seasons excluding summer and winter, and that no or almost no wind is obtained, it is possible to confirm the ventilation amount of the building 1 under conditions in which it is difficult to obtain an updraft due to a temperature rise inside the building 1 caused by the outside air temperature, so that it is easy to determine which of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 and the upper mechanical ventilation structure 4 should be adopted. In this case, if the presence or absence of solar radiation is also specified as the external environment, it is preferable to set the third condition to "no solar radiation" (see FIG. 7), which makes it even more difficult to obtain an updraft.

[0025] The comparison step compares the analysis results of the building model (A) M1 with the analysis results of a first building model (B) M21 in which a first mechanical ventilation structure having a first exhaust volume is provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1 instead of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 as the first upper mechanical ventilation structure 4, and the analysis results of a second building model (B) M22 in which a second mechanical ventilation structure having a second exhaust volume is provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1 instead of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 as the second upper mechanical ventilation structure 4, and the judgment step judges which of the upper natural ventilation structure 3, the first upper mechanical ventilation structure 4, and the second upper mechanical ventilation structure 4 should be adopted as the ventilation structure of the building 1 based on the comparison result in the comparison step (see FIG. 7). According to the above configuration, it is easy to judge which of the natural ventilation structure, the first mechanical ventilation structure, and the second mechanical ventilation structure should be adopted as the ventilation structure to be provided on the upper part of the roof 2 of the building 1. FIG. 7 is a table showing an example of a comparison result of the analysis results by the building model (A) M1, the first building model (B) M21, and the second building model (B) M22 when the external environment is set to the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition. FIG. 7 also shows a comparison result by the fourth condition, which is a condition in which only the wind speed information is changed to be the same as that of the first condition, with respect to the third condition. In each condition, the case in which the most excellent ventilation volume was obtained is indicated by "A", and the case in which the second most excellent ventilation volume after "A" was obtained is indicated by "B". In the example shown in FIG. 7, the building model (A) M1 having the upper natural ventilation structure 3 is evaluated as "A" under both the first and second conditions corresponding to the summer season, and is also evaluated as "B" under the third condition of no wind in the intermediate season, specifically, the ventilation rate is 0.77 times. This exceeds the ventilation rate of 0.5 times, which is considered to be the minimum ventilation volume required in practical use.

[0026] The upper surface of the roof 2 of the building model (A) M1 is composed of a first inclined surface 2a, a step portion 2b, and a second inclined surface 2c. When viewed in a predetermined horizontal direction, the first inclined surface 2a is inclined upward toward the right side, the right end of the first inclined surface 2a is connected to the upper end of the step portion 2b, the lower end of the step portion 2b is connected to the left end of the second inclined surface 2c, the second inclined surface 2c is inclined downward toward the right side, and the step portion 2b has a ventilation opening 2b1 of the upper natural ventilation structure 3. According to the above configuration, efficient ventilation by the upper natural ventilation structure 3 can be realized by utilizing the rising air current caused by the temperature rise inside the building 1 due to the outside air temperature. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the vertical width H of the ventilation opening 2b1 of the upper natural ventilation structure 3 provided in the step portion 2b is set to 1 m, the first mechanical ventilation structure is composed of 6 predetermined roof fans, and the second mechanical ventilation structure is composed of 15 predetermined roof fans.

[0027] The first inclined surface 2a forms the first eaves portion 2d, the second inclined surface 2c forms the second eaves portion 2e, the underside of the first eaves portion 2d has a ventilation opening 2d1 of a natural ventilation structure, and the underside of the second eaves portion 2e has a ventilation opening 2e1 of a natural ventilation structure. According to the above configuration, efficient ventilation can be achieved by utilizing the ventilation opening 2d1 of the natural ventilation structure provided on the underside of the first eaves portion 2d and the ventilation opening 2e1 of the natural ventilation structure provided on the underside of the second eaves portion 2e.

[0028] The building 1 is a factory having entrance openings 5 ​​on both the left and right sides. According to the above configuration, efficient ventilation can be achieved by utilizing the entrance openings 5 ​​of a truck yard or the like.
