CRA201 - Introduction to scSTREAM for Buildings

The main objectives of this course are to familiarize attendees with the basic operation of scSTREAM and to equip them to handle typical thermal/CFD problems encountered during the building and architectural design processes. This course will focus on functions useful for indoor HVAC simulations and external flow/aerodynamics around buildings.

Attendees will gain knowledge of:

  • Basic Operation of scSTREAM
  • Checking the validity of the simulation
  • Advanced functions of scSTREAM
  • Finding information and/or acquiring necessary help
