Outdoor thermal comfort analysis is a critical aspect of urban design and planning, aimed at ensuring the well-being of individuals in outdoor environments. At Mechartes, we utilize Outdoor Thermal Comfort CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis to evaluate and optimize the thermal environment in outdoor spaces. This sophisticated method leverages advanced computational tools to simulate the interaction between various environmental factors and human comfort levels.

Our analysis involves evaluating key environmental parameters, including air temperature, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and humidity, to create outdoor spaces that are comfortable and conducive to human activity. By modeling the ambient conditions along with wind scenarios, we can study velocity and temperature profiles across various settings. This allows our clients to determine the areas that would benefit from cooling systems and to plan for optimal placement of shading structures and water features to enhance thermal comfort.

Outdoor Thermal Comfort CFD Analysis assists clients in making informed decisions about their outdoor spaces, ensuring that they are not only functional but also comfortable and inviting. Through our detailed simulations and expert insights, we help create environments that prioritize the comfort and well-being of their users. Our CFD analysis accurately simulates HVAC performance according to ANSI / ASHRAE 55, ISO 7730, EN 15251, and ISO 9920 standards, studying velocity, temperature, thermal radiation, and relative humidity profiles to ensure a comfortable and healthy climate.

In addition to CFD analysis, we perform comprehensive UTCI and shading analysis. These analyses enable us to pinpoint specific areas requiring shading to mitigate heat stress and to strategically place cooling features for maximum effectiveness. By incorporating these advanced analyses, Mechartes helps create outdoor environments that prioritize user comfort, ensuring spaces are not only functional but also inviting and comfortable.
