Determining the feasibility of cogeneration using doe-2.1E for teh John G. Shedd aquarium and oceanarium | 2003 | English
Applying computacional simulation results to the development of a design method for daylighting design and regulation in high-density cities | 2003 | English
Daylight design for “extremely” obstructed urban environment is a relatively uncharted area of study. No city in the world has an urban density as high as Hong Kong. Designing daylight in the territory is a critical and important study.
Comparison of a generalized pattern search and a genetic algorithm optimization method | 2003 | English
Building and HVAC system design can significantly improve if numerical optimization is used. However, if a cost function that is smooth in the design parameter is evaluated by a building energy simulation program, it usually becomes replaced with
Air conditioning system operation strategies for intermittent occupancy buildings in a hot-humid climate | 2003 | English
For many buildings, continuous operation of the air conditioning system is not necessary for achieving thermal comfort during the occupied periods. Depending on the building's thermal and operational characteristics the air conditioning system may
This paper describes a relatively simple software tool that has been developed to perform annual hour-by hour energy simulation of a building.
The necessity of focus on more large integration of passive concepts for indoor climate conditioning is today a reality.
The paper describes the use of the theory of tolerances in thermal network models that are built as electric circuits. A principle of the method and main equations are given.
Application of data mining techniques for building simulation performance preditic analysis | 2003 | English
Simulation exercises covering long periods (e.g.. annual simulations) can produce large quantities of data.
Combined thermall measurement and simulation for the detailed analysis of four occupied low-energy buildings | 2003 | English
This paper describes four simulation models, which reproduce energy and temperature measurements of occupied buildings very well.
Development of district energy system simulation model based on detailed energy demand | 2003 | English
This paper presents a district energy system simulation model in which the energy flow of a district is modeled as the sum of total energy flow in each building.
Validation is the key when attempting to instill confidence in a building simulation tool.
Automating the selection of fenestration system to best meet daylighting performance goals | 2003 | English
This paper is part of continuing research aimed at exploring the relationship between the amount of solar radiation received by a curved roof and its geometrical configurations.
DElight is a simulation engine for daylight and electric lighting system analysis in buildings.

Cfd modelling of fire suppression by water spray: sensitivity and validation for a pool fire in a room | 2003 | English
In 1998, MoD commissioned ANSYS CFX to develop a numerical procedure, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aimed at providing a practical tool which can be integrated into design processes in order to optimise lowpressure fine water spray
Development of an advanced computer tool, AUSSM TOOL, for a couplinf simulation with building thermal system and urban climatology | 2003 | English
The computer software AUSSSM TOOL, originating from the methodology of the revised-Architectural- Urban-Soil-Simultaneous Simulation Model (revised-AUSSSM), was developed by adopting the Graphical User Interface (GUI) features to support users, wh
Assessing the dynamics of indoor natural illuminance in adavanced packages for building energy analysis | 2003 | English
Advanced packages for building energy analysis require simplified methods to reduce the computational time in assessing the indoor visual environment.
Building design and operation processes can be supported by many kinds of models, from traditional architectural scale models to computer-generated virtual buildings.
An inquiry into the building performance simulation tools usage by architects in Austria | 2003 | English
This paper presents the results of an empirical study to establish if and to which extent professionals in design community are familiar with and use building performance simulation applications.
