Abstract
This paper investigates the
environmental conditions inside a highly-glazed cross-ventilated meeting room.
A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an indoor environment is
developed with the support of the field measurements performed in a normally
operating room. The work presented here
follows the steps of the formal calibration methodology for the development of
CFD models of naturally ventilated environments. This paper utilises the
calibration methodology in order to predict environmental conditions within the
highly-glazed cross-ventilated room occupied by people. The CFD model is
verified and validated with field measurements performed in an operating
building. Moreover, parametric analysis determines the most influential
boundary conditions on indoor air temperatures and air speeds.
