heal.abstract	The paper presents a mathematical model, implemented in a general computer code, that can provide detailed information on velocity and temperature prevailing in three-dimensional buildings of any geometrical complexity, for given external meterological conditions. The model involves the partial differential equations governing flow and heat transfer, in large enclosures, containing heat sources. Turbulent flow is simulated and buoyancy effects are taken into account. The model allows for such practical aspects of the problems under consideration as blockages, internal heat loads, external weather conditions, the presence of people, etc. The model is used to assess the environmental conditions inside the main Hall of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens (Myceane Hall) with external conditions corresponding to Ministry of Environment, summer and winter days.
