Application of Cfd in prediction of indoor building thermal performance as an effective pre-design tool towards sustainability

The application of the CFD in building industry would probably be one of the useful tools to go sustainable. Numerical moing of building with solar chimney using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique has contributed to the prediction of indoor thermal environment, which save time, cost, energy...

description The application of the CFD in building industry would probably be one of the useful tools to go sustainable. Numerical moing of building with solar chimney using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique has contributed to the prediction of indoor thermal environment, which save time, cost, energy and resources. Natural ventilation in residential is being increasingly proposed as an alternative for mechanical ventilation, which could reduce the operational cost, energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emission.The performance of the air well has been empirically proven to reduce the indoor air temperature and increase the air velocity in the passive way. In this case, CFD is applied to predict the thermal performance of room with modified air well in a measured existing single story terraced house.
