Conclusions The building envelope is the most essential part of a building. Without a building envelope, there is no building. Increasing the environmental performance of buildings means increasing the environmental performance of the building envelope. Building envelopes determine both the indoor and outdoor environmental quality.

Conclusions The building envelope is the most essential part of a building. Without a building envelope, there is no building. Increasing the environmental performance of buildings means increasing the environmental performance of the building envelope. Building envelopes determine both the indoor and outdoor environmental quality. CFD simulations, when verified and validated, have become indispensible for the analysis of the performance of present and future building envelopes.
