INTEGRATED AIRFLOW AND THERMAL MODELING Purpose
Integrated thermal and airflow modeling is needed for problems such as these:
• Determination of heat-removal capacity by natural ventilation
• Thermal comfort analysis in naturally ventilated buildings
• Design and evaluation of passive cooling potential by natural nighttime ventilation
• Design of innovative natural ventilation systems such as systems with solar towers, glazed double faзades, faзades with passive shaft ventilation or with some means of heat recovery
This section deals mainly with the interaction of thermal models as outlined in Section 11.3 and airflow models as described in Section 11.4 for the purpose of integrated modeling of thermally induced (stack-driven) natural ventilation, governed by the thermal behavior of the building. For the integrated analysis of air velocity fields and radiative and thermal effects in rhe building using CFD codes, see also Section 11.2 and Ott1 and Schild.2
