Advances in computer technology over recent years now mean building
simulation can be used in the design process and even in the
construction and daily operation of most buildings. The techniques
are sophisticated and require a good deal of expertise, so
relatively few designers, builders and practitioners understand the
full potential of the field even though simulation can inform
design decisions, enable performance analysis and diagnostic
studies. This book should provide these readers with an overview of
building simulation and its current advancements, and a grasp of
current limitations and future directions.
To begin, the book introduces recent trends in building simulation
and outlines its historic development. The book then takes the
reader on a journey into three major areas of investigations:
simulation with uncertainty, combined air and heat flow in whole
buildings, in particular the applications of Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) to the built environment, and the introduction of
new paradigms for the effective use of building simulation
including issues of integration and potentially very significant
ways for users to interact and to engage in immersed simulation.
Leading experts in the field both in the US and Europe have written
the chapters. The book provides a graduate-level student textbook
as well as a guide to advanced methods for architects, engineers
and other construction professionals.
