Airflow
Perform minimum ventilation calculations and evaluate outdoor air supply from mechanical HVAC systems or natural ventilation design. Integrate operational windows with annual energy simulation and include window actuator controls. Use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) airflow simulation to evaluate occupant comfort and overheating potential.
Applications for Airflow
MacroFlo
Simulate air flow driven by wind pressure and buoyancy forces using a fast multi-zone thermo-fluid solver.
MicroFlo-CFD
Undertake internal or external air flow and thermal studies using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
ApacheSim
Central simulation processor which enables you to assess every aspect of thermal performance as well as share results and input across a wide variety of other VE applications.
ASHRAE Loads
HVAC Loads Sizing Calculations based on the ASHRAE Heat Balance method. ASHRAE Loads can be linked with SunCast for solar shading and ApacheHVAC for System and Plant sizing.
ApacheHVAC
Uses a flexible schematic component-based approach that enables you to quickly assemble HVAC plant and control systems.
Octopus Lab INDALO®
