Building Applications

 STAR-CD and STAR-Works help civil engineers, architects and project managers achieve better and more detailed understanding of issues involved in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). They can also be used in the design of clean rooms and buildings that protect personnel from biochemical and radioactive agents, and for smoke and pollutant movement and fire spread prediction within buildings and tunnels.

For the external aerodynamics of the built environment, they are applied to predicting wind loading on buildings and bridges, optimizing comfort and safety in stadia and in urban spaces in general, such as street canyons.
