La simulation thermo-aéraulique du bâtiment : Validation et développement d’une approche couplée CFD-Multizone pour l’étude de la modélisation du phénomène de surchauffe estivale en Belgique

For decades, growing interests in environmental and buildings energy performance concerns lead architects and building engineers to develop new skills and to get used to advanced simulation tools. Among them, Multizone models and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models are increasingly used to solve problems of building physics. This Thesis reports the development of a new and optimized tool based on the coupling of these two tools and its application to a typical Belgian two-storey house. Indeed, separately, these two tools have significant advantages and disadvantages : • Multizone models... Mehr ...
