Simulation of ventilation and indoor air quality in houses using average japanese daily schedule | 1999 | English
In order to explain the effect of ventilation systems and airtight performance of houses in detached houses, the investigation was made on a simulation program which calculates the ventilation rates and indoor air quality.
In this article, we present the dynamic modelling of a heating and air conditioning small output installation in a residential building. The main aim of this modelling study is to acquire a better knowledge of all phenomena which govern the behavi
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
When some faults take place in a thermal storage HVAC system, changing pattern of the temperature profiles of the thermal storage tank is useful to infer where some faults exist.
In this paper a new method called TSM was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
Simulation of cleaning is a new area in building simulations. To make rational cleaning is it important to know how difficult it is to clean rooms. I define a Cleaning Index (CI) as the cleaning area divided by the floor area.
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
The optimal supervisory control strategy for a central chilled water facility has been determined. A quadratic linear regression relation for the total system power in terms of the controlled and uncontrolled variables was developed using simula
Project REED (Residential Energy Efficiency Design) is a Web-based building performance simulation tool developed under contract to one of the nations largest utilities, to help their 4.5 million ratepayers make en- ergy efficient design decisions
Study into optimized control for air-conditioning system with floor thermal storage | 1999 | English
Air-conditioning systems with floor thermal storage can be used for cutting peak load and utilizing nighttime electric power.
Numerical analysis of air temperature increases in urban area using the building-urban-soil simultaneous simulation model | 1999 | English
The authors propose a predicting methodology combined with simultaneous solution for Building- Urban-Soil system to analyze the heat island phenomenon quantitatively in this paper. Using this model, numerical simulation is performed in order
An integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Olof Granlund Oy.
Modeling and calibration of lateral heat loss rate in measuring the R value of partly heated wall | 1999 | English
An experimental apparatus (in-situ thermal test unit) and an analysis method have been developed for evaluating the thermal resistance of the building envelope on site.
Simulation of visual context in architecture, the environment that surrounds both building and observer, is an essential but problematic feature of realistic imagery.
For effective energy use and level off electricity demand throughout the day, thermal energy storage system is getting popular in HVAC systems in Japan. Load profile prediction can provide information to plan optimal operation, and now, various pr
Simplified equations are established to estimate the energy consumption for the heating and cooling of residences, with the coefficients like air-conditioning area rate, air-conditioning-hour rate, etc..
This paper describes the methodology and the implementation of DEST, which is a simulation software developed to help the designer during design process. For each design phase, DEST provides corresponding method and program.
Current state-of-the-art of integrated thermal and lighting simulation and future issues | 1999 | English
This paper describes a simulation based method for the integrated performance appraisal of buildings incorporating daylight utilisation technologies.
Effect of sweat accumulation in clothing on transient thermophysiological response of human body to the environment | 1999 | English
The experiments involving clothed subjects are conducted to reproduce the situation in which people enter an air-conditioned room just after sweating, and analyzed using a combined model, which consists of two-node model for thermophysiological re
