The purpose of this study is to investigate how much the peak daytime demand for electricity is reduced by an underground heat storage system that uses surplus electricity during the nighttime. In this paper, we report on a numerical simulation me

A simulation of an underground heat storage system using midnight eletric power at Park Dome Kumamoto | 1999 | English
Analysis of heat and moisture behavior in underground space by quasilinearized method: accuracy range for outdoor climate varition from the reference | 1999 | English
Coupled heat and moisture transfer equations which describe temperature and moisture fields in the building walls, the earth ground and so on are nonlinear.
In order to provide an integrated building design system that easily can be adapted by building designers, the Danish Building Research Institute has developed such system.
A model for simulation of daylighting and occupancy sensors as an energy control strategy for office buildings | 1999 | English
This paper describes a computer simulation model for assessing the potential energy savings in office buildings through the use of daylight and occupancy sensors.
A systems approach is developed for predictive operation of HVAC processes in buildings, which is described with an objective function, a state-space model, and a number of constraints.
The use of air flow modeling tools for building design is still limited due to lack of explicit standards governing infiltration and ventilation rates in buildings. There is also inconsistency and discrepancy in the use of such modeling tools thro
A program for ground temperature data generation based on the expanded amedas weather CD-ROMS | 1999 | English
The Expanded AMeDAS Weather Data CD-ROMs would be available and may be utilized to conduct building simulations. However, the CD-ROMs do not include temperature data for thermally undisturbed ground.
The UC Berkeley Multinode Comfort Model is based on the Stolwijk model of human thermal regulation but includes several significant improvements.
This paper concerns reasons - and solutions – for the time lag in the uptake and use of building simulation in the Czech Republic relative to many other countries. Following a brief introduction, several barriers to the use of simulation are ident
A method to edit movies for a visual simulator and the of the torsional motion of high-rise buildings on human perception | 1999 | English
A study of the way in which humans visually perceive the motion of high-rise buildings was carried out. In our experiment, an edited movie was projected so that the subjects could observe the motion of the view from a window.
Several features of heat transfer on enclosing surfaces is discussed including temperature distributions in a room heated by a floor heater.
A development of a HVAC experimental chamber and its numerical model, "Numerical HVAC experimental chamber" on a computer | 1999 | English
We first developed an actual HVAC experimental chamber including an air distribution system, an air handling unit, fan coil units, and control systems.
A comparative study of HVAC dynamic behavior between actual measurements and simulated results by HVACSIM+(J) | 1999 | English
A dynamic simulation of the HVAC system is being paid attention because of the development of the computer technology. Authors examined the reproducibility of HVACSIM+(J).
A case study of the energy performance of an office building with double-envelope and atrium | 1999 | English
This paper presents an investigation of the energy performance in an office building in Daejeon, Korea. The office building has a south-facing glazed double envelope and a rectangular atrium.
A comparison of methods to estimate hourly total irradiation on tilted surfaces from hourly global irradiation on a horizontal surface | 1999 | English
A combined analytic and case-based approach to thermal comfort prediction in buildings | 1999 | English
Despite the obvious importance of thermal comfort in the design of indoor environment, it has not been effectively integrated with design decision support tools.
