Introduction of a case study aimed at understanding the thermal environment in the concourse and corridors of the station building!
[Purpose of Analysis] This is an analysis case aimed at understanding the thermal environment in areas where people move, such as concourses and corridors, when constructing a train station building. Due to the influence of the window arrangement of the station building and the solar radiation that passes through those windows, as well as the fluctuations in the number of people staying inside the station at different times, the thermal environment varies by time. As a result, it is currently challenging to grasp the thermal environment during the basic design phase of the station building. In this analysis case, we modeled a hypothetical train station in a regional city during the summer at 4 PM using WindPerfectDX. We considered the solar radiation load transmitted, absorbed, and re-radiated by the fixed windows on the west side of the concourse, the heat load from human bodies and lighting, and the convective load from the roof and walls, with the aim of understanding the thermal environment in the concourse and corridors of the station building.

basic information
●Analysis Model → The size of the analysis space is set to 100m × 100m × 50m, with a total grid count of 2,061,150. The target model is based on a typical station building structure, with a concourse on the west side and a corridor on the east side, and a skylight installed on the concourse roof. The weather data used is from a certain regional city, adopting the data from 16:00, and ventilation grilles (with an opening ratio of 40%) were installed on the walls of the concourse and corridor for air supply and exhaust. ●Analysis Results → It was observed that outside air was supplied from the air intake grilles located at the lower part of the wall, while heat from inside the station building was expelled through the grilles at the upper part of the wall and the skylight. The temperature in the occupied area of the station building reached 36-38°C, which is about 2-4°C higher than the outside temperature of 33.9°C. In some areas on the west side of the concourse, the temperature rose to about 40°C due to solar radiation transmitted through the west-facing windows. This suggests that measures such as improving the performance of the window glass are necessary for the west side of the concourse. By using WindPerfectDX, it is possible to understand the thermal environment during the basic design phase and propose measures for areas where the thermal environment is harsh. ●For more details, please refer to the catalog.
