This five-year project aims to model the transport of harmful biological and chemical compounds听in urban environment using different modeling techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics and multizone modeling for indoor airflow, Modelica-based modeling for HVAC system and control. The project is led by听Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and in collaboration with many federal research laboratories and industry partners. In response to the COVID pandemic,听our team has investigated various mitigation strategies, including 1)听placement of portable air cleaners in a conference room; 2)听HVAC operation strategies for office buildings during COVID and their energy consumptions.听

Comparison of the streamlines

Comparison of the streamlines, colored by the local velocity magnitude, coming from the portable air cleaner (PAC)听inlet in (a) the fully occupied (F)听and (b) the socially distanced (D)听room setups for the PAC setting 1BL. (Castellini et al. 2021)
