The design of energy efficient buildings and the potential for using solar energy for heating and cooling is contingent upon optimizing the building ventilation systems. In this paper we study the ventilation of two interconnected spaces, such as adjacent offices or areas in an open plan office. The goal is to locate return vents to increase the efficiency of night ventilation and to reduce energy consumption.
