OVERVIEW
In consideration of the climatic context, shaping building passive design in its orientation, façades as well as interior layout can reduce the building’s heat load and operating costs. Looking at performance perspectives, buildings are encouraged to be highly permeable in areas of natural ventilation but at the same time, able to complement with minimal wind driven rain effects. To evaluate the effectiveness of building designs, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling tool is able to provide detailed airflow analysis which allows designers to bring in sustainable and practical design concepts to the forefront.
OBJECTIVES
This course aims to equip industry practitioners with knowledge to conduct CFD modelling simulations as well as identify strategies to enhance the natural ventilation of buildings.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Apply BCA Green Mark 2021 (GM: 2021) requirements and prevailing Singapore Standards for outdoor and indoor thermal environment.
• Perform modelling setup and simulation (including geometry creation, CFD meshing etc.).
• Analyse results and determine strategies to improve the overall natural ventilation performance.
