Neural networks compared for indoor environment prediction

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper compares two types of geometry-conditioned neural networks, Canvas-based neural networks (CaNN) and coordinate-based neural networks (CoNN), for predicting indoor airflow and temperature. The study found that CaNN, which explicitly encodes room size within a fixed canvas, demonstrated higher accuracy compared to CoNN in predicting these environmental factors across varying room dimensions. This research is relevant for architectural design, enabling real-time assessment of air circulation in buildings with diverse room sizes. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and accurate tools for architectural design and building performance simulation.

    Comparative Study of Canvas- and Coordinate-Based Geometry-Conditioned Neural Networks for Real-Time Prediction of Indoor Environments with Varying Room Dimensions

    arXiv:2610.15885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is computationally expensive for iterative building design. Deep learning surrogates offer faster predictions, but generalization across varying room dimensions remains challenging. This study comp…
