SimScale to IES for Building Simulation

Download the Recording

In this collaborative webinar with Greenlite, we will discuss how CFD can be employed to calculate accurate wind pressure coefficients on a high rise residential building, and then imported into IES and thermal modelling software tools for more realistic ventilation and overheating studies.

The webinar will highlight the key differences between thermal modelling and CFD, and explain how they can be used together to optimize building performance early in the design stage, as well as for compliance calculations such as TM59.

Richard Tibenham

Director

Greenlite Building Physics help design teams achieve thermally comfortable, energy-efficient buildings. To do this, we use detailed computational models. A significant proportion of our work involves establishing suitable balances between operational energy demand, thermal comfort and capital expenditure. Our design inputs help design teams evaluate risks, design out problems and optimise their design strategy. Services include summertime overheating risk assessments, HVAC systems sizing calculations, daylight modelling and building regulations compliance.

What our customers are saying

“We are really impressed with the SimScale platform. Thanks to the platform’s ease of use, the professional support of SimScale engineers and the perfect communication with them, we were able to efficiently perform simulations and sort out our design problems. It’s hard to imagine how much physical prototyping time and measures we saved thanks to virtual prototyping.”

Piotr Pietryga CEO at CRYO Science

“When I started with SimScale, I knew from my previous experience how simulations are structured and work, but I had forgotten some details over the years. The great tutorials, documentation, and personal conversations with support have brought me up to date within 2 months of using SimScale. I am now well versed and use SimScale even with smaller problems to confirm my pre-calculations and to quickly compare design studies.”
