Abstract: In the tropical Nigerian environment, the major weather influence that poses a problem to indoor thermal comfort is the hot and humid climate. As the prevalent economic conditions of the country may not allow for full energy-active air conditioning that is necessary to maintain appropriate indoor thermal environments during the day and night times in all public Universities and colleges, the only other option applicable in hostel designs is the use of natural and passive methods. Natural or passive ventilation is highly dependent on the regional wind flow systems. A study was thus initiated to investigate the influence of different configurations of building forms typically utilized in the design of hostel buildings in the hot and humid climate of Nigeria. This paper presents the results of the study of two typical building typologies using data from field measurements. The values will also be used to simulate the wind flow pattern and thermal conditions in these building forms using PHOENICS-VR simulation software in order to view the atypical behaviour of air movement for passive ventilation in these buildings. The wind movement around the selected building typologies indicated a significant behaviour which concludes that building orientation is essential for the effective adoption of wind driven natural ventilation.
Keywords: Hostel design, natural ventilation, passive ventilation, tropical designs, airflow simulation.
