There have been many studies on the potential of CFD-simulation toward building performance and indoor air quality assessments. The effectiveness of such analysis depends on the reliability of the predictions. This paper presents results of a study on application of calibrated CFD-simulations for the performance evaluation of displacement ventilation. A
CFD model was generated for a mock-up office space equipped with displacement ventilation. CFD predictions of airflow speed and temperature were compared with measurements. The initial model was
adjusted through iterative calibrations. The results suggest that the predictive performance of CFDsimulations can be improved based on systematic calibration procedures with generic applicability
potential.
