@AnisGitHub In place, of a ridge lantern could we use a number of turnbine vents... as illustrated here...

@theoryshaw are these turbine vents mechanical? powered by a motor ? Do you have a cutsheet/link ?

For Natural Ventilation: In general we will need to first design the ventilation scheme, calculate the air volume and temperature required to maintain thermal comfort then size the openings. To make this work we need either roof monitor along the long axis of the two story space or operable skylights. This will also benefit the daylight quality in the space and reduce the use of artificial lighting.

When natural ventilation is not able to maintain acceptable thermal comfort levels, Mechanical Ventilation + Cooling will be needed. Any design effort involving either senarios should be coordinated with the MEP team as well.

Yeah no particulars on the vents at this time, just looking for general feedback on the conceptual approach.

Thx!
