Learn how to simulate building performance including microclimate, thermal comfort, fabric energy efficiency, solar gains, and indoor air quality in your web browser using a single CAD model.
Building performance simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a growing requirement for many types of buildings. Complex building physics is needed to design and validate advanced net-zero and wellbeing requirements of modern building codes and rating systems. These cannot be analyzed using traditional thermal/energy modeling tools, which tend to focus on compliance and energy.
Architects and engineers can benefit from fast and accurate design simulation using SimScale, accessed in their preferred web browser. With no hardware setup or costs, SimScale allows designers to quickly access powerful simulation capabilities and perform multiple analyses using a single CAD model to understand:
- External wind comfort and safety
- Indoor thermal comfort and overheating
- Ventilation and air quality
- Solar gains and fabric energy efficiency
