Courtesy of University of Padua, Italy Handle IFC files of extreme complexity and get stunning 3D visualizations VENTO AEC offers a streamlined solution to easily simulate airflow within realistic spaces and swiftly gain both visual and quantitative insights into the evolving air quality. Our case study – developed by the University of Padua – provides a glimpse into the extremely detailed IFC model of a real office, showcasing a practical example of HVAC simulation. Analyse time and efficiency of air exchange With VENTO AEC you can analyse airflow patterns in indoor spaces and define optimizing factors, such as building configurations, orientations, window placements and the integration of mechanical ventilation systems. This application domain covers not only residential and commercial buildings, but also civil infrastructure like tunnels and mines – where the dispersion of pollutants can be critical – ensuring adequate air quality and controlling potential risks.

In this case study we analyse natural ventilation and air exchange in mine tunnels, with and without additional forced ventilation. Problematic areas of air stagnation become apparent through animated visualizations, and parameters such as Age of Air (AOA) and Air Exchange Effectiveness (AEE) are readily accessible over time. The video displays 3D concentration clouds of ‘old’ air within multiple kilometers of mine tunnels after a 3-hour period.

Ensure thermal comfort compliance (PMV & PPD indexes) For building physicists and construction engineers, ensuring occupants’ thermal comfort in line with international standards is a key priority. By computing PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) indicators, VENTO AEC allows to assess and optimize the design and settings of indoor environments to meet thermal comfort compliance. In this case study we analyse the HVAC performance of a big-sized environment (20 x 20 x 6 m) with glass partitions and an estimated occupation of 12 pax, providing PMV and PPD indexes.

Piccola descrizione IFC model with 7M triangles (courtesy of Milan Ingegneria) Use upfront simulation for early-stage guidance In the early stage of creative architectural design, architects explore a range of concepts, whether related to urban planning, ventilated facades, or other elements. By utilizing simulations in the early stages, architects can swiftly evaluate a multitude of design variations and speed up the overall creative process. Indoor comfort
