Abstract
Preventing waste and saving energy consumption is one of the most important issues in the world due to the reduction and limitation of fossil energy reserves. Meanwhile, the main energy consumption in the building is related to the use of mechanical ventilation. Therefore, due to the advantages of natural ventilation, it is necessary to develop and use it, which becomes more important in classrooms due to the high population and activity. Despite much research that has been done in the field of natural ventilation, there is a need for more studies and development in educational spaces. Therefore, in this research, to know the characteristics of natural ventilation and common methods in its analysis, the studies conducted in this field are reviewed with more emphasis on the studies of educational spaces. Researches reviewed with keywords related to natural ventilation include more than 300 articles from the Science Direct database and persian publications, of which 140 sources are cited in this article. The result is that despite the importance of the educational space and the need to use natural ventilation in these buildings, attention to it is not enough and it is necessary to check all dimensions and parameters related to natural ventilation in educational spaces, especially openings and openings that play a key role in this field. Most of the research have used two methods of experimental measurement and computational fluid dynamics simulation model, which have been carried out in buildings with various uses to investigate the variables.
