Case Study: Africus improves thermal comfort in a Bangkok temple with Hexagon’s Cradle scSTREAM

Africus improves thermal comfort in a 100-yearold naturally ventilated temple in Bangkok

Africus, a professional consulting firm, used Hexagon's scSTREAM CFD solution to address a challenge with thermal comfort and airflow in a 100-year-old, naturally ventilated temple located in Bangkok. The goal was to improve the historic building's energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

Using Hexagon's simulation software, Africus analyzed the temple's heat transfer and airflow performance. Based on the results, they were able to provide specific remediation suggestions for the existing structure. This led to improved thermal comfort for the temple's occupants through enhanced natural ventilation.
