Towards the specification of windows sizes for natural ventilation in classrooms in a warn climate, Nigeria

The paper presents a fundamental approach to the establishment of window sizes, essentially to facilitate (achieve) the promotion air movement in classrooms. A procedure that entailed the analysis of prevailing climatic conditions in relation to the thermal comfort requirement of classroom users has...
