 	abstract     = {Although recent advancements in computational architecture show promising capabilities, it remains difficult for architects to conduct advanced simulations due to the limited software interoperability. For thermal bridging analyses, the architectural community traditionally relies on specific software tools that are not integrated into a CAD environment. To integrate such analyses into the ongoing design process, we implement a software tool to run heat transfer simulations with OpenFOAM from Grasshopper and Rhinoceros. This paper presents an implementation for box-shaped geometries and compares its results to a thermal bridge analysis from a validated simulation engine. We show that OpenFOAM's chtMultiregionFoam solver is capable of accurately predicting temperature distributions in a geometry setup with 13 different regions and 8 different materials. In conclusion, we show that heat transfer studies can be highly automated and integrated into an iterative design process.},

+abstract = {Urban wind simulation plays an important role in pedestrian comfort assessment, wind safety evaluation, air quality analysis, and broader urban environmental planning. Conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches, although physically grounded, remain computationally demanding and highly reliant on mesh quality, which makes them impractical for large-scale or iterative urban design workflows. This study reviews recent developments in data-driven, physics-informed, and hybrid machine learning methods for urban wind prediction, with attention to their modeling assumptions, validation strategies, and generalization behavior. The literature is organized along the urban wind simulation pipeline to provide a structured overview of current surrogate modeling approaches and their practical limitations. The review highlights open challenges related to robustness, benchmarking, and uncertainty quantification, and discusses directions for improving the reliability and scalability of ML-based urban wind modeling.},
