UrbaWind - Software for Wind Modelling in Urban Areas
The CFD software for wind modelling in urban areas, or any builtenvironments.The outdoor climatic comfort module is dedicated to local authorities, architects, developers, urban planners, designers, landscapers. Itdetermines the areas of possible wind discomfort to make outdoor spacesmore pleasant and safer for its users. The Natural Ventilation module is intended for architects, builders,developers. It estimates and optimizes natural ventilation of buildingsand evaluates the indoor comfort and air quality.The Energy module is designed for developers and manufacturers of small wind projects, consultants, installers and developers. It allows tovalidate the potential of a site and the location of wind turbines, to optimize the production and lifetime of machinery.

Outdoor Climatic Comfort
The buildings arrangement can create unwanted local aerodynamic effects: accelerations at buildings’ corners,
whirlwinds or accelerations between 2 buildings (Wise or Venturi effects)…
UrbaWind Comfort module ,using regional wind statistics, evaluates the local climatology inside the plan mass,
computes the exceeding frequency of wind gusts, produces seasonal or yearly maps of wind or solar radiation.
Added value of the project: safety and comfort in outdoor spaces
Natural Ventilation Of Buildings
For ecological and economic reasons, it is worthwhile to take benefit of the wind as a driving force or an element of the buildings ventilation for its refreshment or the indoor air renewal. However, the variability (season, day/night) of the natural ventilation potential, its dependence on topography, ground roughness and nearby buildings make necessary a quantitative approach, using numerical computation and modelling of the physical phenomena.
Urbawind Natural Ventilation module estimates the potential for natural ventilation, computes air renewal rate, optimizes the mass plan and the openings characterisics. Finally, it quantifies the flow rate of air renewal and delivers climatological reference data for the thermal simulations.
Added value of the project: energy costs reduction, indoor comfort, green building certification
Wind Energy Assessment
Wind energy production in built environement or near constructions, needs an accurate assessment of air flows in
order to evaluate the resource, as well as the risks due to the perturbated environment.
Urbawind Energy module evaluates the yearly expected production and gives you the key information to choose the best equipments and the most productive locations.
Added value of the project: use of clean energy, positive environmental impact
