Abstract

In this study, the influence of openings on the aeraulic behavior in a room of habitation is investigated. The choice of openings to ventilate a room is an essential factor to ensure the comfort of the occupants. In this work, a numerical simulation of the aeraulic behavior of the interior environment of the building is carried out using the FLUENT software. The main objective of this work is the evaluation of thermal comfort in a room by comparing the numerical results obtained for a room ventilated naturally, by changing positions of openings used as inlet and outlet for air flow. The results show that the use of two outlet openings ensures a better thermal comfort than the use just one opening even if the total surface is kept the same.
