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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
In this study, the Typical Weather Year data for the simulations of buildings were developed following the previous study. Using these data, the annual heating and cooling loads of model houses in 69 Chinese cities were calculated.
We have developed software applications that design HVAC systems (that is, select, locate, and size components and their interconnections) given building descriptions, user preferences, and built-in rules.
Modeling the link between built environment and urban climate: towards simplified indicators of the city environment | 2001 | English
The important variation of the urban morphology has direct effects on the disparity of the outdoor climates, as well as indoor climates.
