Professor In-Bok Lee's research lab specializes in sustainable building environments and energy-efficient systems, with a focus on natural ventilation in agricultural buildings and energy management in building-integrated greenhouses. The lab employs advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and dynamic energy simulation models to optimize indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy performance under real-world weather conditions. Research also emphasizes experimental validation using wind tunnel tests and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to ensure model accuracy and reliability. The ultimate goal is to develop intelligent, energy-smart environmental control systems for agricultural and building applications.

Using the CFD model, a new ventilation system design will be found later taking into consideration the ventilation efficiency such as uniformity, stability, and suitability of environmental factors in a naturally ventilated broiler house. Because conducting a field experiment for the ventilation study presented so many difficulties, a reliable 3-dimentional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model had to be developed to investigate the natural ventilation. Before investigating its accuracy, a wi
Energy management of a building-integrated rooftop greenhouse (BiRTG) is considered one of the important factors. Accordingly, the interest in energy simulation models has increased. Energy load computed from the simulation model can be used for appropriate capacity calculation and optimal operation of the environmental control system. In particular, because the thermal environment of greenhouses is sensitive to the external weather environment, dynamic energy simulations, such as building energ
