ventilation study
The MUIC building shares a comparable concept with the ELKU building. A special feature, however, lies in the partially exposed courtyard. The courtyard was originally intended to be shaded by extensive tree canopies, but is now exposed to direct sunlight through the presence of smaller tree canopies. This is particularly pronounced on the fourth and second floors, reinforced by glass facades with limited ventilation openings for cross ventilation. Outdoor spaces and extensive corridors allow for natural wind currents without the effects of solar heating. Although there is cross ventilation, its efficiency lags behind that of the SOAD building. The vertical chimney ventilation in the inner courtyard suffers from the negative heating effects caused by the glazing of the inner facade.
