<strong>The</strong>me B: Creating a livable, healthy and environmentally viable cities<strong>The</strong>Δpincludes pressures caused by indoor-outdoor temperature difference,surface wind pressure ( p w ) and pressurization by HVAC system. System 1's cavityair velocity ( u ca ) was affected by all three factors above, and System 2 was affectedby the temperature difference and surface wind pressure ( pw ) without HVACpressurization.<strong>The</strong> flow coefficient ( c ) in Eq. (19) accounts for the efficiency at allowing fluidflow, and is affected by the area, depth and shape of the opening. System 2's flowcoefficient ( c ) is greater because the width of the ventilation damper of system 2 isgreater than that of system 1, thus helping the airflow. <strong>The</strong> average differencesbetween the simulated and measured values were 15.89cm/s (System 1) and10.23cm/s (System 2).6.4 Step 4 – Cavity closed (Airflow mode [10])<strong>The</strong> fourth step was conducted for about 85 hours (Aug 18-22, 2007). <strong>The</strong>sampling time was 1 minute, and the numbers of data points were 4,507 (System 1)and 5,126 (System 2). Table 6 summarizes the results of parameter estimation, andthe average differences between the simulated and measured temperatures were1.59℃ (system 1) and 1.06℃ (system 2).Table 6: Unknown parameter in cavity closedSystem 1 System 2ξ1 0.9244 1.2812ξ2 0.5564 0.5256eq.(11)ξ3 0.4594 0.9299uout 0.744 0.323ulsv 0.488 0.460hout 9.16 11.64eq.
