The optimal insulation detail of the thermal bridge adjcent to hot water pipes in apartment buildings slabs | 1997 | English
Modelling and simulation play a number of roles in engineering design studies. For Gaz de France, these studies must satisfy exacting criteria of quality and rapidity.
The effectiveness of simple shading devices in reducing the direct, diffuse and ground reflected components of solar radiation has been measured and compared to simulation predictions of the same. The simulation results were found to be very sensi
This paper explores a simulation-assisted building control strategy.
Within the framework of the validation methodology of our computer software CLIM2000, we asked 12 users to do the same validation exercise (prediction of energy consumption of a residential house) in order to evaluate the influence of the model us
The implications of sky model selection for the prediction of daylight distribution in architectural spaces | 1997 | English
This paper investigates the implications of the selection of various sky luminance distribution models for the computational prediction of daylight distribution in architectural spaces.
The U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense (DOE and DOD) are jointly developing EnergyBase, a new building energy simulation tool that builds on the capabilities of BLAST and DOE-2.
BASESIMP: a residential-foundation heat-loss algorithm for incorporating into whole-building energy-analysis programs | 1997 | English
Heat losses from foundations are poorly considered in many whole-building energy programs which are used to model houses.
Many building simulation computer programs, originally developed on mainframe computers for research purposes, can now run on the powerful workstation and personal computers that are available to most architectural and engineering firms.
A new integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Insinööritoimisto Olof Granlund Oy.
The design of monitoring system for distnbuted energy and heat supply is presented in the paper.
COMIS 3.0: a new simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling | 1997 | English
COMIS 3.0 is a new simulation environment developed in the framework of IEA/ECB Annex 23. To our knowledge this is the first time that one of the Annexes of IEA/ECB produces as its main result a validated software not only designed for research la
A major barrier to using energy simulation tools during the design process of a building has been the difficulty of using the available programs.
Application of simulation in design and operation of refurbished buildings and heating systems | 1997 | English
This paper gives an introduction into the simulation of the thermic behaviour of a modernized building including the calculation of both single and two pipe heating by a new TYPE57 for simulation of heating pipe systems within the program TRNSYS.
In this paper, a new method of direct run - time coupling between building energy simulation and global illuminance simulation is outlined and discussed.
If a map of a city is encoded as a Digital Elevation Model, it becomes amenable to image-processing software, such as the public-domain NIH Image application.
Computation of sound propagation in enclosed spaces is needed for a variety of purposes such as noise exposure in industrial spaces, acoustic privacy conditions in open-plan office settings, and speech intelligibility in auditoriums.
This paper describes the simulation of electric storage heaters and their controls. A method for modelling manual control, inferred from transformer readings, is described.
This paper presents the theoretical modelling work of an elementary urban units (street), thermal behaviour.
Numerical and experimetal assessment of a flow field in a ventilated industrial hall | 1997 | English
The paper presents the results from a numerical and experimental investigation of the velocity distribution in a ventilated industrial hall in the nuclear power plant in Bulgaria.
