Abstract
This paper introduces a scientific approach for the simulation and analysis of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) patterns indoors. It applies physics laws in analyzing EMR interaction within real-like 3-D buildings with plastered walls, illustrated by a visually scalable representation. The research objective is to investigate the effects of different roof shapes and some architectural parameters on EMR patterns in buildings using a CST simulator. The effects of new materials such as treated cement mixtures and sheets of Carbon Nanotubes composite materials are also examined. The shielding effectiveness within the zones of human activity of the model buildings are evaluated. The results identify the determinant parameters for EMR shielding and pinpoint potential locations for energy harvesting. The simulation results of the multi-layered wall are verified using MATLAB. Field measurements are performed on an actual building. The measurement results support the efficiency of the simulator in evaluating EMR levels indoors with an acceptable error.
