What role does natural ventilation play in workplace design?

Natural ventilation plays a critical role in workplace design by providing fresh air, regulating temperature, and reducing the need for mechanical cooling and ventilation systems. It is also essential for maintaining good air quality and reducing the risk of airborne pollutants, which can have a significant impact on the health and productivity of workers. Effective natural ventilation can be achieved through the use of windows, roof vents, and other passive systems that allow fresh air to circulate throughout the workspace. This approach not only provides a more comfortable and healthy work environment but can also help to lower energy costs and reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.
