Services:     Air-Flow and Pressurization Modeling

 

Analyzed the airflow for 56 lockers in a double-row and T-shaped offshoot with an exhaust plenum above. The HVAC system exhausts air through each locker and out through the plenum above. A 3D model was analyzed in Fire Dynamics Simulator and another model was analyzed in Contam. These results were provided to the mechanical contractor to validate their proof of concept and general design parameters. Results were provided in video format showing pressure, and flow through the lockers and plenum.
