Roof Monitor Width Calculation for required Air Changes (N)

For Building 01
Qv = V * N / (R * 3600)
WHERE,
V = Building Volume
R = Exhaust Capacity
N = Air Change per hour
Qv = Total ventilation Area required
C = Discharge Coefficient = 0.7
g = 9.81 m/s2

INPUT
LENGTH O/O 188.27 M
WIDTH O/O 119.98 M
SLOPE 0.5 10

TEMP INSIDE = Ti = 40 DEGREES


TEMP INSIDE = Ti = 313 K
TEMP OUTSIDE = To = 30 DEGREES
TEMP OUTSIDE = To = 303 K
AIR CHANGE/HOUR = N = 6

CALCULATIONS
Ridge height 13.5 M
Stack Height = Avg. height = h 4.5 M
V = Volume 101649 M3
R = Exhaust Capacity = C * Sqrt (2gh((Ti-To)/Ti)) 1.176 M3/S

Qv = TOTAL VENTILATION AREA REQUIRED = V * N / (R * 3600) 144.1 M2

EFFECTIVE LENGTH OF ROOF MONITOR = 162.8 m

WIDTH OF ROOF MONITOR REQUIRED = Qv /EFFECTIVE LENGTH = 0.89 m


<0.9 m
Note - It worth to mention that the above calculation for air flow considers only the buoyancy effect while
totally ignoring the wind speed effect so it is conservative.
