CFD Simulations of Natural Ventilation Effect: A Case Study of New Administrative Building of the Guanyin Township

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based performance simulator for assessing natural ventilation effectiveness to the central patio and corridors of the new administrative building of the Guanyin Township, Taiwan. The data can share with other potential users for achieving better understanding of the indoor microclimate and the interaction of buildings with urban wind environment for improvement of their design and functioning aspects during the decision-making procedure.
