Activate Radiation in simulation to account for reflections.

Outdoor glass:
Assume that external solar gain : internal solar gain (pretty big assumption since we specify a thermal resistance for the wall)
Set gain to : solar_gain x absorptivity_outdoor_glass

Indoor glass:
gain : solar_gain x transmissivty_outdoor_glass x absorptivity_indoor_glass

Assuming total solar gain : 500 watts per m2
absorbivity : 0.4
transmissivity : 0.5

This project aims at validating the heating capacity of the HVAC system of a 3 story residential building, the indoor air quality design, and the thermal comfort in winter conditions and summer conditions

Flow through different vent diffuser designs and analysis of occupant thermal comfort.

Thermal comfort assessment of an office space using CFD with SimScale.

A small part of the SimScale office . We actually don't have any active cooling here (Germany) so we took a few liberties to make this more interesting!

Natural Ventilation of a department store.

Pedestrian Wind Comfort Analysis for assessing the wind speeds in areas meant for recreational use.

Predicting Window Fogging with SimScale CFD.

HVAC of an entire floor of an office building.

CFD analysis of airflow within an apartment to evaluate thermal comfort and investigate draft.

This project aims to obtain the airflow inside two design alternatives for an HVAC system of a theater room. Convective heat transfer simulation is used to obtain the flow pattern inside the room. Thermal comfort parameters such as PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) are obtained along with the mean age of fluid.
