Using CFD Modeling for HVAC System Design

This presentation focuses on the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to predict the performance of an air distribution system inside the built environment. The presentation provides an introduction to CFD and how it can be used effectively to study thermal comfort and indoor air quality. A broad range of examples will demonstrate how CFD can be used to tackle common design challenges in the indoor environment including thermal comfort optimization, enhancement of indoor air quality and air volume reduction, all with the aim of reducing the size and energy usage of the air distribution systems.
