Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I have developed thermal environment focused renovations of school buildings using 3-dimensional numerical fluid dynamics and the lighting simulation. This study decided to clear the natural ventilation current flow and inside illumination distribution in the some shape school buildings.The window of school buildings is large, the presence or absence of eaves for the solar radiation shielding will affect the indoor thermal environment. This study was analyzed measurement accuracy for the natural ventilation.
