CFD Simulation for Sustainable Design
This informal CPD article CFD Simulation for Sustainable Design was provided by SimScale, a new, cloud-based approach to CAE, FEA and CFD. The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that building construction and operation consume 36% of the world’s energy and accounts for 40% of the energy-related carbon emissions . As such, many governing bodies have amended policies to establish sustainable design as a fundamental driver of new development.
