SpecLab®: Simulate Your Facility's Airflow Before You Buy

See exactly how your fans will perform. Before you spend a dime.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) platforms can create simulations of a facility to model how fans will perform based on layout, equipment, and obstructions. This provides an analysis of airflow design for specific environments.

Why Simulation Matters

Airflow dynamics vary based on ceiling height and internal structures like pallet racking. Simulations account for these variables to assist in determining fan model, size, and quantity for the intended application.

CFD analysis predicts the speed and direction of airflow throughout a space based on the building's geometry and environmental conditions.

How SpecLab Works

Our proprietary CFD software allows users to input facility dimensions and information about walls and major obstructions. We then simulate how different user-created fan configurations will perform within that space.

The simulation shows airflow patterns and velocity gradients. This allows for the comparison of different fan models, diameters, and placements within the building.

What SpecLab Delivers That Nothing Else Can

SpecLab’s data-backed simulations allow MEP engineers to design optimized HVAC solutions that maximize the impact of HVLS and directional fans. As the only platform truly integrated with the CBE thermal comfort tool, SpecLab accounts for physical obstructions and delivers an airflow analysis in just minutes. This rapid turnaround accelerates project planning, whether you are coordinating airflow strategies for new builds or retrofitting existing infrastructure.

Free with Every Custom Quote

We don't guess at your facility's climate control, and you shouldn't have to either. Using our proprietary Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, SpecLab maps airflow patterns based on your real-world facility dimensions, rack placements, and structural layout to eliminate stagnant hot spots before installation even begins. We include this comprehensive engineering simulation entirely free with every custom quote, giving you a massive, data-backed planning advantage without adding a dime to your project budget.
