Potential for heat stress relief using desiccant systems in swinw breeding facilities | 2001 | English
The paper presents a dynamic approach of the validation process of existing building simulation model.
New façades system consisting of combined photovoltaic and solar thermal generators with building insulation | 2001 | English
Most photovoltaic (PV) facades are built as curtain facades in front of thermally insulated buildings with air ducts in between.
This work regards the development and the validation a simplified model for building cooling energy requirement.
A structured, generalized modeling and simulation software is described that enables development and analysis of control algorithms and systems and pre- diction of thermal performance and energy use in buildings.
The Energy and Environmental Prediction (EEP) model is an environmental auditing and decision making tool for cities, to be used by planners and others in pursuit of sustainable development.
Optimising energy consumption in offices as a function of window area and room size | 2001 | English
Windows allow daylight to enter a space but they also allow for the transfer of heat gains and losses that affect the energy consumption of a building.
To meet the requirements of building owners and users in environmental issues, life cycle assessment (LCA) has become an important method to monitor the ecological perspective during design and decision making processes.
This paper presents the multiple-view performance assessment of an existing office building undertaken with an integrated application.
Sim_Zonal: software evaluating indoor temperature distributions and air movements for rapid appraisals - first application to an cell | 2001 | English
This article presents the first application of the Sim_Zonal software, a tool for evaluating indoor temperature and air flow distributions for residential and office buildings.
A flow responsive algorithm was devised and implemented within the ESP-r simulation program to advance the modelling of internal surface convection.
Measurement and simulation of the thermal behavior of a massive building passive solar conditioning | 2001 | English
The measured thermal behavior of a massive building that uses passive techniques for indoor air conditioning is presented. The building thermal transient behavior was simulated with SIMEDIF code.
On the potential of computationally renderes scenes for lighting quality evaluation | 2001 | English
This paper describes an empirical study that was conducted to determine whether and to what extent subjective evaluation of lighting in architectural spaces can be reproduced using computationally rendered images of such spaces.
CEN TC247 has prepared draft standards for main types of room controllers.
Influence of sensor position in building thermal control: development and validation of an adapted zone model | 2001 | English
This paper presents the development of a zone model adapted to the study of the influence of the sensor position in building thermal control. The temperature measured by the sensor of a room temperature controller depends on its position in the zo
Advances in psychoacoustics through the years, have made it possible to evaluate the acoustical quality of a room, based on several numerical parameters that have been developed.
With increasing demands for electric power in large commercial buildings the problem of magnetic interference to sensitive equipment has increased. However, low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic interference is not generally addressed in the design
On the influence of angular dependence properties of advanced glazing systems on the energy performance of buildings | 2001 | English
Windows strongly influence the energy performances of buildings, especially in the new hugely glazed constructions.
An optimal combination of the characteristics of an air conditioning system and the control strategy is necessary to minimize costs and the energy demand.
