| Abstract: |
| "As mechanical engineers involved in the search for often complex and innovative solutions for the design of buildings, the use of building simulations is often an indispensable tool to confirm a concept and develop a design with confidence. The use of building simulation techniques in the design process not only aides a designer to confirm his technical assumptions but also helps nontechnical people involved in a project to understand the issues through graphical or illustrative examples of what will ha ppen once a building is built.
" Building simulation techniques are now totally accepted as being a valid way of confirming a design and are used by many designers throughout the world to stretch the boundaries of their building designs, sometimes to the limitts, at a reasonable cost and without the need to buildid the real thing before finding out that it didn't quite work as was thought." |
