Computer-aided system for thermal and ventilation design - design support for automatically attaining target room temperature.

In designing thermal and ventilation systems in buildings, an examining process of exchange between the designers and analysts is needed. This study aims to expand the simulation system of thermal and ventilation into an automated process for the design of optimum thermal and ventilative conditions, based on the expertise of analysts, the analysis of the thermal environment and the modification of the design, by automating these functions. This paper describes the outline of the computer-aided system for thermal and ventilation design, the inferring method of design-modification parameters and the effectiveness of the system through the application results to the cases in which the room temperature in a multi.zone building is targeted as the thermal and ventilative conditions.
