Challenges
- Maximizing building efficiency to meet LEED criteria.
- Broad CFD simulation capability needed to support a global engineering team.
- Validating condensation-free HVAC performance.
- Ensuring pedestrian wind comfort and safety on campus
- Risk and cost management for novel design ideas to avoid late stage design changes and rework.
Results
- Accelerated design iterations 2-3x by running cloud-native CFD simulations without hardware limits.
- Took rapid, data-driven decisions through real-time collaboration in remote meetings.
- Validating condensation-free HVAC performance.
- Analyzed thermal, HVAC, and wind comfort scenarios with multi-physics capabilities.
- De-risked novel design concepts early in the process to prevent costly rework and protect budgets/timelines.
