Climate-Responsive Design for Large & Complex Spaces — Lincoln Center, NYC
Presented in collaboration with:
The Lincoln Center is home to 11 resident arts organizations presenting music, theater, dance, film, opera, and more that bring a tapestry of artists—from across the globe—to New York City. The stage and concert halls must be designed to bring live performances to life and create unforgettable experiences.
This webinar discusses the use of simulation and building design tools to redesign the ventilation and comfort strategy inside the David Geffen Hall at the Lincoln Center. Our guest presenter from Kohler Ronan Engineers shows how they changed the ventilation strategy to accommodate comfort and acoustic requirements for the New York Philharmonic and the audience.
Our specialists also show you how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the cloud can be used to design for ventilation, air quality, thermal comfort, and other environmental variables in large and complex spaces including:

Dr. Naghman Khan has a PhD in building simulation and is a founding member of the CIBSE Building Simulation Group and co-author of CIBSE AM11: Building Performance Modeling. He works with SimScale and technology providers to rapidly accelerate digital transformation for a sustainable built environment and is a published researcher on energy efficiency, microclimate simulation, and sustainable buildings.
“If there is an architect that comes to you with a geometry in the morning, you can get the building ready for simulation in one or two hours, get the results after lunch and have time to go through a process of changes, according to the results. So in one day, we are able to optimize. The results we get from SimScale help us quickly understand how a building is going to behave and what kind of impact the building geometry will have on the surrounding space.”
“We perform a wide range of sustainability and microclimate analyses on all our projects. In order to streamline the work processes, we have implemented a large number of automations, optimizing processes and enhancing the collaboration with our partners in the AEC industry, including SimScale.”
SimScale is the world’s first cloud-native SaaS engineering simulation platform, giving engineers and designers immediate access to digital prototyping early in the design stage, throughout the entire R&D cycle, and across the entire enterprise. By providing instant access to a single fluid, thermal, and structural simulation tool built on the latest cloud computing technology, SimScale has moved high-fidelity physics simulation technology from a complex and cost-prohibitive desktop application to a user-friendly web application, accessible to any designer and engineer in the world.
