Description

This chapter presents two common indoor environmental modeling methods to calculate airflows and contaminant concentrations in buildings: computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multi-zone network airflow modeling. Discussion of each method includes its mathematical background, practical modeling advice, model validation, and application examples.
