Abstract
Currently, in the field of architecture, with the progress of development of highly convenient CFD software, not only conventional researchers and HVAC engineers but also architects are using it for design. The authors have organized information for conducting appropriate analysis in the activities of the academic committee of SHASE for the purpose of promoting the proper dissemination of CFD technology, and has published a guidebook for beginners. Based on the activities of the committee, this paper outlines the history of development, technological trends, and future prospects of CFD technology, which is being used more and more in architecture field.
