A Study on the Different Applications of CFD in Building Energy Systems

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), as the most sophisticated flow modeling method, can simultaneously predict airflow, heat transfer and contaminant transportation in and around buildings. This paper introduces the newest roles of CFD in building systems and designs. It demonstrates its typical application in designing a thermally conformable, healthy and energy-efficient building. Primary challenges of using CFD in building modeling and design practice are also discussed. Furthermore, the most recent developing trends in applying CFD to building design are analyzed by reviewing the newest literature in major domains of CFD application.
