Software description for ener-win: a visual interface model for hourly energy simulation in buildings | 1995 | English
Using the Visual Basic development tool kit, the authors have developed a highly interactive graphical interfáce to an hourly energy simulation model for estimating annual energy consumption in buildings. The software, named ENER-WIN, features an
The volume of annual, monthly, and hourly simulation output developed by building simulation packages such as DOE-2.1 presents the building modeler with significant challenges.
The development of an intelligent, integrated building design system within the european combine project | 1995 | English
There are two main issues to be resolved in order that design tools can be used in cooperative mode, each communicating with the other.
Modern, Message-Based operating systems with Graphic User Interfáces have spurred tremendous advances in software development.

Incorporating a modular system simulation program into a large energy analysis program : the linking of IBLAST and HVACSIM+ | 1995 | English
Most currently available hourly energy analysis programs utilize separate and sequential simulations of the building, air handling systems, and primary energy plants.
Even at the beginning of the concept and planning phase for low energy buildings co-operation between architect and different engineers is, mandatory.
The Neutral Model Format for building simulation was proposed in 1989 as a means for documentation and exchange of models.
Manufactured housing walls that provide satisfactory moisture performance in all climates | 1995 | English
We used the MOIST Computer Model to conduct a detailed analysis of the moisture performance of one wall typical of current construction practice in manufáctured housing, and mo new altemative wall designs with potential for better moisture perform
An error analysis method applied to a building simulation software : an example of application and its results | 1995 | English
Within the framework of an Anglo-French validation project funded by EDF and the BRE, a building model has been tested using an error analysis method. The first step enabled the identification of the different discrepancy sources.
TRNSYS is a modular transient system simulation program that has been commercially available since 1975. The primary use of TRNSYS is to model thermal energy systems.
