A comparative study of mixed mode simulation methods: approaches in research and practice

This project explores how both researchers and practitioners use simulation methods for naturally-ventilated and mixed mode buildings. A focused literature review was conducted to outline the modeling tools and methods used by researchers, including appropriate tools and the importance of site-specific wind data and accurate wind pressure coefficients. The literature review also summarized research on window opening behavior, noting that there is little practical guidance for practitioners interested in related stochastic modeling techniques. The second phase of the project involved conducting interviews with practitioners who model naturally-ventilated and mixed mode buildings. Practitioners reported that they would like to see more integrated tools, tools with improved result visualizations, and early-phase design tools.
