Abstract
In this paper, we show the application of CFD in HVAC education. In the course, it was conducted using Fluent CFD software to improve the ventilation performance in one classroom. The CFD approach provided simulation results with different numbers of fans installed in the classroom. In the CFD simulations, the models with fans or without fans were created. By comparing the different cases simulated by Fluent software, it was found that installing fans could improve the ventilation performance in the classroom effectively. It also can be seen from the CFD simulation results that the numbers of the fans and installing positions of the fans can affect the ventilation performance.
