3D Heat Transfer Analysis in Architectural Modeling: A Case Study with OpenFOAM
摘要
As the global focus on sustainable building practices intensifies, architects face the challenge of designing structures that meet aesthetic and functional criteria and minimize energy consumption. A critical aspect of achieving energy-efficient buildings is the selection of appropriate building materials with optimal thermal properties. However, the integration of thermal performance analysis into the architectural design process remains a complex and underdeveloped area. This research aims to address this gap by exploring the use of OpenFOAM to develop a user-friendly tool that empowers architects to make informed decisions about material selection and its impact on energy efficiency.
