I think we will find these models essential in predicting the
impact of widespread ~ 300 sq miles at a<br>
time, use of CHP in large commercial buildings. Without it it will
be much harder to make the case<br>
for <i><b>required </b></i>CHP systems in large buildings....<br>

The ASHRAE "Climatic Information" committee is currently attempting to
convince ASHRAE to initiate a research project on developing mesoscale
climate models. The fruition of this is probably still in the distant
future. In the meantime, you may be interested in several of these

Hello everybody:
<br>
<br>
Has any one experienced, used or heard about softwares that can run
complete
<br>
mesoscale climate models!!
<br>
(i.e. fluid thermodynaimcs, water content, vegetation, built
environment,
<br>
....etc).
<br>
I wonder what a great, powerfull and superior creator who can operate
such huge
<br>
issues in reality whilst We may spend days running only a small
detailed
<br>
microscale climate simulation !!
<br>
<br>
However, any guide would be appreciated.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Mohamad.
