Coupled CFD/building envelope model for the Purdue Living Lab.

Summary

Many advanced HVAC components, such as chilled beams, rely on vertical temperature gradients for effective operation. Moreover, accurate assessment of environmental-quality must be based on conditions in appropriate occupied zones and not on large-scale averages. Accordingly, it is appro- priate to consider indoor environment models that accurately reflect such spatially varying features. In the present case we develop a procedure for coupling a building envelope model to a CFD-based model for the indoor air environment. The formulation retains spatially varying features such as water-vapor content and enables calculation of comfort metrics at various occupied locations.
