Handbook

TC 4.10 is responsible for Fundamentals Chapter 34 - Indoor Environmental Modeling. This chapter presents two common indoor environmental modeling methods to calculate airflows and contaminant concentrations in buildings: computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multizone network airflow modeling. Discussion of each method includes its mathematical background, practical modeling advice, model validation, and application examples.
