>> *Low Energy Buildings: CFD Techniques for Natural Ventilation and
>> Thermal Comfort Prediction*
>>
>> Malcolm’s presentation will cover both his research and consultancy
>> activities. This will cover the work he has undertaken during his time
>> spent working with architects on low energy building design, with a
>> particular focus on natural ventilation and passive cooling strategies, and
>> the role computer simulation can play in this design process. Malcolm will
>> talk about the simulation techniques employed, as well as the innovative
>> passive design principles that have led to some of the UK’s most energy
>> efficient buildings. In addition to UK building projects, the talk but will
>> include work Malcolm completed as part of the design of the LEED Gold award
>> winning Harm A. Weber Academic Center at Judson University, in Elgin, near
>> Chicago. This building, which comprises office and library space, employs a
>> hybrid ventilation and cooling strategy which exploits the maximum benefit
>> from natural ventilation before reverting to air-conditioning during the
>> harsh winter and peak summer months. Malcolm will also talk about recent
>> research projects, including his work on Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of
>> unsteady flows in naturally ventilated buildings and the development of a
>> new simulation system which couples CFD with a model of human physiology
>> and thermal comfort.****

>>
>> Malcolm Cook is Professor of Building Performance Analysis at
>> Loughborough University. He is based in the Building Energy Research Group
>> in the School of Civil and Building Engineering and leads their work in the
>> area of ventilation modeling and low energy building design. He obtained
>> his first degree from Manchester University (UK) in Mathematics and
>> completed his PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling of
>> buoyancy-driven natural ventilation at De Montfort University (Leicester,
>> UK). He has worked on research projects funded by the Engineering and
>> Physical Sciences Research Council, the Department of Health and the
>> European Union. He has completed many consultancy projects for a wide range
>> of clients worldwide which have included design and simulation work for
>> health care buildings, schools and modern library buildings. His work is
>> published in over 70 refereed conference and journal papers and has
>> contributed to awards for innovative building design, including the RIBA
>> presidents gold medal for practice-based architecture (2007), the CIBSE
>> environmental initiative of the year award (2006) and a LEED Gold rated
>> Academic Center for Judson College, IL (2008). Malcolm is a member of the
>> CIBSE Natural Ventilation group, vice-chairman of the CIBSE Building
>> Simulation group and chairman of the England affiliate of the International
>> Building Performance Simulation Association.****
