| Practical
problem: |
 |
Capital
design decisions regarding the amount of roof
ventilators and/or insulation. |
|
Design for minimum
ventilation rates to ensure contaminant removal. |
| |
|
| Specifications
for simulation: |
|
Fully
integrated hourly simulation of building thermal
performance, stack and wind effect. (No such easy to use
software was found) |
| |
|
| Verification: |
|
Temperature
verification results. |
| |
|
| Results: |
|
For capital
investment
make an informed decision between the amount of
roof ventilators and/or insulation. |
|
Often the Air
change rate need to be calculated to see if contaminants will be removed. |
