[Equest-users] Query regarding PDEC ( Passive cooling ) simulation in eQuest

[Sami, Vikram]

Mansi,

I doubt you can do this credibly in eQUEST. You really need a CFD type package to be able to simulate this. . A word of caution - the effort to develop the simulation for this is a master's thesis in itself.

Subject: [Equest-users] Query regarding PDEC ( Passive cooling ) simulation in eQuest


Hello friends,

My name is Mansi Jayswal. I am a final year student of Masters Programme at CEPT University, India. By profession I am an architect. Currently I am doing thesis on passive cooling technique (Passive down draught evaporative cooling system- PDEC ). And try to identified that how much cooling load of HVAC system can be replaced through this system.

Now my query is that is it eQuest is capable to simulate such building with wind tower or PHDC (PDEC ) system? If anybody knows please kindly reply. I have very days left for final submission and I am stuck here.

Thanks
