Earth’s atmospheric circulation distributes heat from the equator to the poles through three convection cells in each hemisphere. The rotation of the Earth, surface features, and ocean currents influence global atmospheric patterns. The Coriolis force causes winds to curve and produces rotational winds around high and low pressure cells. Seasonal changes and variations in land […]
Circulation factor is the space in a building necessary for movement but not part of the usable square footage. Good design can reduce it, but a certain amount may be required by law for safety. Commercial buildings need more circulation factor than homes. Architects and contractors estimate the space needed for circulation during the design […]
