Predicting human geometry-related factors for detailed radiation analysis in indoor spaces | 2003 | English
In this study, formulae for predicting projected area factors and view factors of individual body parts of standing and sedentary humans for detailed radiation analysis were developed.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is increasingly being used to predict the effects of wind on buildings and on the people in and around them.
Numerical simulation on the prevention effect of the cold draft along the window in wintertime | 2003 | English
This study is aimed to contribute to energy saving and to achieve the indoor thermal comfort by preventing the down draft along the window in building with less heating energy than the common equipment, e.g. FCU.
Skyvision: a software tool to calculate the optical characteristics and daylighting performance of skylights | 2003 | English
Skylights can offer useful benefits in reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants satisfaction.
Room air conditioners: determination of empirical corelations for predicting building energy consumption | 2003 | English
Two room air conditioners were modeled in order to predict the total cooling capacity, the sensible cooling capacity and the Energy Efficiency Ratio (E.E.R.) of each appliance.
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
The hygrothermal behavior of rooms: combining thermal building simulation and hygrothermal envelope calculation | 2003 | English
The hygrothermal behavior of a building component exposed to weather is an important aspect of the overall performance of a building.
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America.
The aim of the presented work is to refine the ESP-r system by incorporating phase change materials (PCM) modelling. The behaviour of PCMs is modelled using ESP-r’s special materials facility.
This paper describes the application of a building simulation program to construct a decision-support tool for use by policy makers addressing the needs of the Scottish domestic housing sector.
Radiant heating and cooling, including building component embedded systems, have become a common heating and/or cooling technology in the recent few years.
A study by Reinhart and Herkel showed term predictions of daylight availability in architectural spaces should take the conditions of all individual time steps into account.
The purpose of this research is to develope a simplified method to predict the relationship between the design of architecture envelope and the air- conditioning load in Taiwan.

Modelling and simulation of physical ambient factors: noise and wind in tropical climate - contribution to optimized urban forms | 2003 | English
In tropical humid climate, thermal environment can be controlled using natural ventilation.
Hourly energy simulation was used in combination with a life cycle assessment framework to model the environmental effects of energy consumption in buildings.
The international building physics toolbox (IBPT) is a software library specially constructed for HAM system analysis in building physics.
Optimization of airflow regimes, energy efficiency and air quality in surgical operation theatres | 2003 | English
The present paper addresses and fosters the factors that affect airflow movement and energy efficiencies in the surgical operating theatres.
Testing the energy simulation building model of Consoclim using bestest method and experimental data | 2003 | English
Consoclim is a building energy simulation software package which aims to simplify the input data. The building is modelled by only one capacity and five resistances.
