✦ Synopsis


13 Space heating and cooling a light pipe with a 95% specular reflectance.

The infra-red radiation transmitted through the material into a passive stack was found to enhance the natural ventilation flow by up to 14%. The effect is greater in summer than in winter, which is highly desirable as there is often a lack of driving force for natural stack ventilation in summer.
