Abstract

One of the main characteristics of thermal and fluid mechanical behaviour of buildings is that it is dominated by coupled heat and mass transfer phenomena. In this paper we describe the main phenomena influencing the behaviour of buildings and propose a general formulation of these coupled phenomena. We then apply this formalism to two important problems. The first one deals with the coupling between a multizone thermal model and a multizone airflow model. The second one presents the coupling between the transport of pollutants and airflow calculation in a multizone building. In order to illustrate our proposition we give various kinds of examples of coupled configuration.
