[Expertise] How to optimize buildings airflow and air temperature with Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is a tool used to analyze fluid flows and temperature. In the case of building and environmental engineering, it can be used for internal spaces (large spaces such as warehouses, exhibition spaces or workshops) or external spaces (districts, neighborhoods or cities). In internal space, CFD is used to calculate thermal comfort via the calculation of airspeed, air temperature, “age” of air
