IES Consulting has a wealth of experience in modeling natural ventilation and other passive/mixed-mode design strategies. Our experience has found that although such strategies are widely integrated into building design in the UK, it has yet to be fully integrated into mainstream design in N. America.
Our consultancy service can help you assess the feasibility of using strategies such as night-time flushing, natural ventilation and hybrid/mixed-mode ventilation, right at the very early design stages.
Analysis takes into account your project’s specific climatic conditions and allows you to quantify which strategies will have the most impact on energy and carbon reduction.
Once feasible strategies have been identified and design choices made, more detailed simulation can assess the impact of operable windows on different natural ventilation scenarios.
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation of bulk airflow can be used in parallel to capture infiltration due to incidental (leakage) and operational openings.
