Abstract

Indoor thermal comfort is an important aspect of architectural environment. Based on CFD and with the use of Airpak, indoor dynamic thermal comfort is researched in this paper. The Computing Model of a common house layout in Tianjin is established. The indoor thermal comfort conditions of wind velocities at different frequencies and different temperatures are simulated. Then the influences of wind velocity, wind frequency, and temperature to indoor thermal comfort are analyzed. Not only can Numerical Methods evaluate the thermal comfort level, but also provide useful reference for architecture ventilation design and energy consumption reduction of air conditioning system.
