Abstract

Within the European project "Friendly Heating" [8] a local bench heating system is being designed. This local heating system is designed to only heat the area where the churchgoers are sitting, instead of heating the whole church. In this way, damaging the building and it’s interior is prevented. The first software tool evaluated in this paper is "WaVo" [7]. This tool allows one to perform computer simulations of the whole building. The second tool presented here, is the CFD program "Fluent" [2], which allows one to perform simulations on the local climate (including air velocities) in the benches.
