Abstract

The subject of this research is the use of CFD techniques to identify the impact of using shutters in case of tiny house. Low temperatures and the aim to use as less energy amount as possible need solution. The composites shells allow designing efficient shutters that is isolating in an important manner windows. The CFD software allows to identify the air currents and the areas where heat is lost due to the extreme weather conditions.
