MacroFlo simulates air flow driven by wind pressure and buoyancy forces (and mechanical air movement if used in conjunction with ApacheHvac).
MacroFlo uses a fast multi-zone thermo-fluid solver to simulate interaction between air flows, pressures and thermal conditions. It models large air volumes and simulates air flow between these, through building elements such as windows and doors.
It enables you to easily define the size of window or door openings and how they will open and close.
It Incorporates models of:
In the MacroFlo video you will learn how to apply this tool to minimise the need for air conditioning in a building, or eliminate it all together.
