FAF3704 Fluid and Climate Theory
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Entry requirements for PhD studies in architectural engineering or similar knowledge. Basic course in fluid mechanics is required.
Health and comfort effects of indoor air conditions including airborne contaminants on human beings are introduced. Sensation of draught is as an example dependent on air temperature, air velocity and turbulence intensity in the air. The concentration of emissions in a room and room temperature are not only dependent on ventilation flow rates and heat sources but also on the degree of mixing, i.e. the flow pattern through the room. Indoor climate requirements and building services vary according to the intended purpose of the building. Modern design methods and tools are introduced.
The research within Fluid and Climate Theory deals with the impact of indoor climate on people's well-being, health and performance levels. It shows which factors make up the concept indoor climate and how they can be translated into measurable design requirements.
