Description

Research is needed to develop a simplified air movement computer program that may be incorporated into existing building energy analysis programs, such as BCAP (Building Comfort Analysis Program) and to validate the program with existing information from the literature. The objective of this research project is to 1) develop a simplified airflow program to be incorporated into existing building energy analysis programs; 2) validate the program with new experimental data and existing information from the literature; 3) incorporate the simplified air movement model into an energy analysis program having thermal comfort capabilities, and 4) to exercise the coupled energy/thermal comfort/air movement model by analyzing five heating and cooling system designs such as a warehouse, a room in an office building, a home, a factory with individual work stations, and an aircraft hanger.
