Software Based Model Development for Design of Area Specific Shelter for Thermal Comfort Maintenance.

Source

Source summary

The proposal requests a user-configurable ANSYS thermal model for passive shelters, initially motivated by Ladakh but usable for other climates. It should compare materials, thermal-mass options, shape, size, orientation and openings under measured ambient conditions. Outputs should estimate indoor temperature, solar heat gain and time-dependent heat flow, enabling comparative designs that reduce external energy demand rather than assuming one generic shelter works everywhere.
