Airflow Simulation is a digital method that helps designers see how air moves inside and around buildings, which is important for making spaces comfortable and healthy. In building performance, this simulation can show where air might get stuck or where fresh air flows best, helping to place vents, windows, and doors in smart spots. Designers use this information to lower energy use by improving natural ventilation, which can make cooling and heating systems work less. Airflow Simulation can even help control the spread of odors or particles in shared spaces, giving designers a way to plan safer and cleaner buildings.
