Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modelling

Understand how your building will perform before it’s built

Understanding CFD modelling

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling helps you understand how air, heat, and contaminants behave within your building. This approach is used to check whether your ventilation and internal environment design will perform as intended, or if adjustments are needed to improve comfort, efficiency, or compliance.

Using advanced CFD software, we create a virtual model of your building. We then simulate airflow, temperature distribution, and pollutant movement across different scenarios. This gives you clear evidence of how your spaces will actually perform, including how air circulates, where heat builds up, and how effectively fresh air reaches occupants.

Why does this matter? Many modern buildings include complex layouts, large open spaces, or non-standard ventilation strategies. Features like atriums, glazed facades, or high occupancy areas can create performance issues that simple calculations do not capture. CFD modelling provides the clarity you need to validate your design, reduce risk, and avoid costly changes later.

Why CFD modelling is necessary

Optimises thermal comfort across occupied spaces
Ensures effective ventilation and indoor air quality
Identifies hot spots, cold zones, and stagnant air early
Supports efficient system design and reduces energy use
Provides clear evidence to support design decisions

Our CFD modelling services

We deliver a full range of CFD modelling services for both new and existing buildings. Here’s what’s included:

3D virtual building modelling

We create accurate digital models of your building geometry, including internal layouts and ventilation strategies.

Scenario testing

Simulations are run across different conditions, including seasonal variations, occupancy levels, and system performance.

Assessment of key factors

We analyse airflow, temperature distribution, air velocity, and contaminant dispersion such as CO₂.

Performance review

Results are assessed against project requirements, comfort targets, and relevant guidance.

Clear reporting

We produce detailed reports with visual outputs, helping you clearly understand performance and communicate findings.

Design advice

We work with your design team to refine layouts and systems, improving performance and reducing risk.

Our CFD modelling process

01

Initial consultation

Share your project details so we can understand your objectives, design challenges, and performance targets.

02

Data gathering and model setup

We review drawings, building use, and system design, then build a detailed CFD model of your space.

03

Simulation

We run simulations across agreed scenarios to assess airflow, temperature, and air quality performance.

04

Results analysis and reporting

We analyse the results, highlight key findings, and provide clear, visual reports to support decision-making.

05

Ongoing advice and support

We support your team through design development, helping refine solutions and respond to any queries.

Trusted, Time And Time Again

Harry gave me excellent advice and clear understanding on what BREEAM means as well about the specific accredited assessing required by professionals like Harry.

Angela Singh

Very efficient and professional service. Cant recommend enevo enough, glad I chose them for my project.

William Brannon

Very impressive on all aspects of energy calcs. Responsive and cost competitive. Highly recommended

Nick Spencer

enevo are always helpful, friendly and efficient in carrying out SAP calculations for our clients.

Lizzie Hicks

Dan at enevo has completed for us SBEM Calculations and EPC Certificates for 6 commercial units on an industrial estate. The cost of the works was very competitive and the service we received was second to none. With very limited time to get these works completed Dan worked round the clock (and into his annual leave!!) to ensure that our completion date was achieved with very little notice. Would highly recommend!

Mollie Belton

We have always found enevo to provide an excellent service in the preparation of SAP Calculations and Assessments as well as EPC Certificates for projects that they have worked on for us. They are also reasonably priced so we would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.

Martin Booker

Used enevo from start to completion of our recent project of 2No. new builds. Services included SAP/EPC and property air testing. Great service, understanding of requirements and cost. Person friendly company and good with communication.

Mark Radcliffe

Very efficient, personal, professional service, with a quick report turnaround. Highly recommended if you're a self-builder trying to navigate the complexities of the latest regulations.

Edward Broadhead

Always efficient and prompt service, enevo are an asset to my company, having used their services on multiple developments I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Mac Chappell

Great service with a fast turnaround. Communication was excellent throughout. Richard the engineer was polite and professional. Will certainly be using enevo again.
