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

Coupled heat and moisture transfer equations which describe temperature and moisture fields in the building walls, the earth ground and so on are nonlinear.
Daisuke Ogura, Takayuki Matsushita and Mamoru Matsumoto
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.
Karl Grau and Kim B. Wittchen
This paper describes a computer simulation model for assessing the potential energy savings in office buildings through the use of daylight and occupancy sensors.
Larry O. Degelman
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.
T.Y. Chen and J. Burnett
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

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.
Charlie Huizenga, Zhang Hui, Thomas Duan, Edward Arens
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 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.
Satoshi Shindo and Takeshi Goto
Several features of heat transfer on enclosing surfaces is discussed including temperature distributions in a room heated by a floor heater.
Haruo Hanibuchi, Shuichi Hokoi
We first developed an actual HVAC experimental chamber including an air distribution system, an air handling unit, fan coil units, and control systems.
Masayuki Oguro, Koji Ono, Kazuyoshi Harimoto, Yoshiko Teranishi, Yasushige Morikawa, Shigeru Ono
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).

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.

Despite the obvious importance of thermal comfort in the design of indoor environment, it has not been effectively integrated with design decision support tools.

The IMAGE (IMplementation of Advanced Glazing in Europe) project was funded by the European Commission and involved glass manufactures, onsultants and research organisations (see acknowledgements).
