Demonstrate a simulation project for Thermal Comfort Analysis to a
new customer

This project shows a simple HVAC study of a one-story shopping center hall. The simulation aims to evaluate the power requirements and distribution around the hall in order to maintain both indoor air quality and thermal comfort of the occupants.

Testing two configurations for ventilation in a warehouse. Several heat sources are placed throughout the area. The objective is to evaluate how the different configurations perform in terms of predicted mean vote (PMV) & predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD). A total of 20 people (represented as cylinders) were placed inside of the warehouse.

Convective heat transfer analysis were carried out, with the radiation formulation on. By placing two simple outlets on the ceiling of the warehouse, ventilation was greatly improved and all 20 people were within the -0.5 to 0.5 PMV range.

To analyse, and optimise the heating of a residential block using various heating methods.

In this analysis, a CFD study is carried out of an entire HVAC system inside a large library room. The objective is to predict thermal comfort in a winter scenario in a library. So the external walls are assumed to be at 10 Celsius with a heat transfer coefficient towards the inside of the room. Warm air is supplied via the HVAC system and the resulting temperature and velocity distribution is studied.

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.
