Urban Heat Island modeling
In the beginning of 2021, we completed the development of a tool for simulating surface temperatures in an urban environment, using a weak coupling approach between temperatures and air velocities
The approach allows for comfort indexes computations at each point in space. It integrates the coupling of fluid mechanics simulations, together with sunlight and thermal dynamic regimes for the built environment.
Results of a case study around the Strasbourg train station (France) are presented next.
The following animation shows the evolution of comfort levels over the first week of the year Sit back and relax!
Publication in "Techniques de l'Ingénieur"
Publication of our calculation method for natural ventilation
Our coupling method between computational fluid mechanics and dynamic thermal simulation, used to calculate natural ventilation, was published this month in the Techniques de l’Ingénieur. The full article is available on their website. Alternatively you can contact us for more details!
Paris Est train station
Roofing and design variations: influence on interior thermal comfort
The study of comfort levels in the Paris Est train station development project was conducted using several steps / methods:
- A coupling between CFD and dynamic thermal simulation for the calculation of natural ventilation with accurately calculated pressure coefficients
- The detailed internal distribution of solar fluxes with Radiance software
- Obtaining indoor comfort levels hour by hour for the whole year and their statistical analysis.
Some graphic results below.
