AboutAbout the lab
Predicting indoor environmental quality with numerical human body models
The Building Environment Simulation Lab studies how the quality of the indoor environment, such as the thermal environment and air quality, relates to human health and comfort.
To enable comprehensive prediction and evaluation of the interactions between indoor environmental factors and the human body, the lab develops numerical analysis models and applies them in practice.
Experiments are limited in terms of time, space, cost, and ethics, so numerical experiments (simulations) based on digital twins of the built environment have recently drawn attention as a new approach.
Focusing on numerical human body models for indoor environment analysis, the lab aims to predict and evaluate indoor environmental quality comprehensively and with high accuracy.
Key terms
- Numerical human body model
- A model that reproduces the human body on a computer for use in analyzing indoor environments
- Digital twin
- A replica of a real-world object created on a computer. Here, the object is the built environment
- Numerical experiment (simulation)
- A method of investigating a phenomenon by reproducing it on a computer instead of conducting a physical experiment
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops numerical analysis models that can comprehensively evaluate indoor environmental quality and human health and comfort, and applies them in practice. Its main research themes are the comprehensive evaluation of indoor air quality and thermal comfort using numerical human body models, the optimization of indoor environment design and air-conditioning control, the advancement of numerical human body models, and the optimal design of air-conditioning and ventilation systems.
