GPGPU room climate assessment (simulation of the room temperature feeling on a graphics card)

This project investigates the extent to which modern programmable graphics cards can be used for simulations. The local radiation temperature according to DIN 1946 Part 2 and the mean vote (PMV) for the indoor climate assessment by a large group of people according to DIN EN ISO 7730:1995 are simulated or predicted.

The algorithm used was originally developed in the Hauser engineering office by Mr. Christoph Kempkes and implemented in Fortran.

The existing algorithm and the data structures used must be analyzed and extracted.

A suitable high-level language for programming graphics cards must be selected.

The aim of the project is to simulate a simple space (cubic). At least parts of the solution should run on a graphics processor (GPU).
