A single and simple question please;
Have IES the CFD capability to simulate an outdoor environemnt of large urban
areas or even small ones ???
Best wishes to all,
Mohamad.

> "On the cooling side an analogous relationship exists between SSEER and the

> As the general conversion of EER to COP is 3.412, then a system with EER of
