Abstract

A computer-implemented method for computationally determining ventilation efficiency when generating a building design comprises: generating a first three-dimensional (3D) mesh based on a first 3D building model; performing a first fluid dynamic computer simulation based on the first 3D mesh and first environmental data associated with the first 3D building model to generate a first output data set; and computing, based on the first output data set, a first value for a ventilation performance metric that is associated with the first 3D building model.
