A decision-making tool to support integration of sustainable technologies in refurbishment projects | 2003 | English
The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient use of energy in the retrofitting of social housing buildings. In this scope, one step was to develop
A numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer in a room with the air-underfloor heating | 2003 | English
The current work presents features of an air-underfloor heating system and CFD model to predict velocity and temperature distribution. The paper describes the constructions of air-underfloor heat exchangers.
A study on the thermal response characteristics of the floor of hydronic floor heating systems | 2003 | English
Many studies have been performed on floor heating systems.
This paper describes a newly developed prototype of continuous commissioning tool that can be stand-alone or be embedded in a BEMS to continuously monitor a building’s HVAC systems performance and detect faults during operation phase. The componen
The low-flow solar water heater – from 7 litres/hour to 15 litres/hour per solar collector area – is the most promising way for improving the solar water heater performance.
3d digital geometric reconstruction of the urban environment fot daylighting simulation studies | 2003 | English
In principal, the algorithms used in advanced lighting simulation software are equally applicable to interior and exterior situations [Ashdown 1994][Ward 1998]. In practice the scope is limited: a realistic CAD model of a building in a complex urb
A study on an estimation method of the effective opening area of entrance doors and winter airflow rate into atrium buildings | 2003 | English
This study develops a simplified estimation method for calculating the effective opening area of automatically operated entrance doors and the winter airflow rate into entrance halls due to the stack effect.
This paper presents the development of a simulation tool based on the Matlab computational environment for building temperature performance analysis with automatic control.
Statistical interpretation of the results of building simulation and its use in design decisions | 2003 | English
The practical use of building simulation software requires a global and comprehensible interpretation of results for decision support in design.
