Our Wind Comfort app and Wind Load app are developed for architects and urban planners
Wind Comfort app Wind Load appIf a flaw or risk is identified early in the design process, a minor change on the sketch board can improve the performance of the whole building.
Architects, BIM engineers, urban planners and structural engineers have to predict how the air will behave inside and outside of the building they are designing. The inside flow will affect how heating, ventilation, air conditioning or contaminants will spread within the structure, while the outside streams, the wind flow, will be crucial for the building’s structural integrity as well as pedestrian comfort.
These are crucial aspects of the design work. If a flaw or risk is identified early in the design process, a minor change on the sketch board can improve the performance of the whole building – making it safer, more energy efficient and more comfortable.
Outdoor flow simulations can be very useful when designing the structure of a building. Understanding how the building will interact with the environment, and in particular how it will react to external air flow is getting critical in contemporary architectural design. Good urban planning requires wind simulations. Pedestrian comfort and safety and the dispersion of air pollution can and should be predicted by conducting wind simulations. Scientists predict a dynamic growth of CFD simulations popularity among architects, structural engineers, urban planners and BIM engineers. This specific group of professionals require an easy to use, fast and reliable CFD software.
