[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: WPC values: get a wind tunnel?



Hi Dave, hi E+ users,

Did you find a way to get those WPC for a non rectangular building?
I am thinking of using Fluent but might take quite some time! Is there any tool that could provide those coefficients easily for a building?

Regards,

Gabriel

Is there a readily available, reasonably easy to use, and reasonably reliable CFD source that you would recommend?  Other sources that don't require massive computation time?  Tables?  Charts?  Databases?
