Building Ventilation Analysis

Applications of ICON World-Leading Products and Expert Services

Urban Fluid Mechanics

Outdoor Dispersion

Computational Fluid Dynamics in Building HVAC design and improvement

Huge amounts of time and money can be saved in effective building ventilation analysis through modelling using iconCFD software products and expert engineering services.

Traditional, costly and lengthy methods such as wind tunnel scale model testing can be supplemented or replaced. Investigation and improvement of ventilation system efficiency, verification of comfort conditions, predicting thermal transport etc are quicker, cheaper and easier.

Our Apps can also simulate and predict the distribution of moisture content and relative humidity, conjugate heat transfer (CHT) as well as indices such as the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD), used to determine occupant thermal comfort and indoor air quality. All can affect energy consumption and therefore cost.

What building ventilation applications are served?

Airflow inside and around buildings
Air conditioning – heating/cooling
Air velocity distribution
Air change efficiency (age of room air)
Energy efficiency
Fire hazards – smoke migration
Humidity levels
Natural and mechanical ventilation – solar radiation, stack ventilation and passive systems
Pollutants – concentration and removal
Temperature distribution
Tunnel, car park and subway station modelling – moving train meshing included, for example
Virus transmission and dispersion (Airborne Transmission and Aerosol Dispersion – COVID-19)

We also provide CFD consulting, CFD training and CFD support services to help you resolve problems and increase independent capability.

As a leader in the delivery of unlimited CFD simulation for industry, ICON can help you analyse and deliver measurable HVAC improvements. Our mission is to make CFD less complex and less expensive for you to use. With over 30 years’ experience, you can trust ICON to deliver.
