The present study simulates Invelox in a three-dimensional and stable way. The flow regime is turbulent flow and an unorganized grid with 350000 cells was utilized. This work has studied the modeling of invelox with conventional dimensions and four different sizes in the form of four modes for use in a residential building. The numerical data with an error of less than 6% are in good agreement with the available experimental and analytical data. The results show that considering the average velocity of mode 2 with a velocity of 6.54 m/s and a 5% difference from the other two modes, it can be operated in a residential building. It is worth noting that in this investigation, in addition, the effect of dust on the turbine performance was evaluated. The results represent that the oscillation frequency of the blades increases with the increase of the rotational speed. In the case of not considering dust particles on blades, this amount increases by 25%, while considering dust particles with an amount of 0.1%, it increases up to 300%, and this can cause irreparable damage to the turbine as well as the power generation system.

The building sectors are recognized as one of the essential contributors of global warming and climate change because of their high energy use. The building sector is responsible for 40% of all energy usage and 40% of the CO2 emissions in the developed countries. Researchers in the world are working on energy management and conservation using simulation software to develop strategies that lead to an overall reduction of energy consumption in the buildings. This review is considered a modeling and simulation approach with a specific focus on residential building. Modeling and simulation methods reviewed are presented categorically as per the strategic approach adopted by the researchers. Simulation results available for residential building energy are also introduced. This research has reviewed the capabilities and performances on Ecotect simulation and modeling, including daylighting, solar radiation, thermal analysis, and shading for energy management and conservation of residential building. Different modeling and simulation approaches, from various building and climate, were reviewed and discussed. The analysis of present work greatly help the researchers' decision-making and selection of software to perform various simulations in energy management of residential buildings.
