Ventilation & Environmental Flows
We have a comprehensive range of software and tools to design, simulate and assess different heating, ventilation and Air-Conditioning Systems (HVAC) as well as environmental flows. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we used our expertise in a number of projects to help improve ventilation in different settings and also developed a numerical framework for testing biosensors capable of detecting different variants of viruses. In addition, we have conducted projects related to atmospheric flows, wind microclimate and pedestrian comfort and Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects.
Our Ventilation Assessment & Design Expertise
Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques, we have unique expertise in modelling and simulation of different ventilation systems including both natural and mechanical ventilation systems (e.g. supply/extract, heat recovery, extraction, air conditioning, fan coils, chilled beams and etc). Our simulation tools allow a meticulous assessment of the current ventilation system to obtain key parameters such as air freshness level (air residence time), air change per hour, particle extraction, temperature/pressure/velocity measurement, etc. This would enable us to assess the performance of existing ventilation systems in minimising the risks of airborne transmission of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV2) in any workplace. We also have experience in optimisation vaccine storage and refrigeration. Below are some recent examples of our simulation and design projects for a wide range of HVAC systems.
