Abstract

A CFD software called VORTEX is used as a tool to simulate air flow and thermal comfort in naturally wind ventilated classrooms of an educational institution, which are at different locations, have different configurations and slightly differing outdoor environmental conditions. Simulations of the various classrooms are compared to get the most thermally comfortable and uncomfortable naturally ventilated classroom. An analysis of the simulations will be done, taking into consideration, among others, location of inlets and outlets and the sheltering effect of the surrounding built-up environment. Recommendations will then be made on how to improve the ventilation of the least comfortable room, based on hypothetical simulation results.
