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.
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.
The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate thermal storage performance of the storage medium embedded with metal fins and to prepare and accumulate design data.
This article presents a mathematical model that provides explicit support for preserving the consistency between decisions made at various points during building performance analysis. Analytical Target Cascading, a multilevel engineering design op
A pilot project for a low energy building equipped with thermal slabs, heat pump and ground heat storage | 2003 | English
During the last years much interest has been paid to Low Temperature Systems, i.e.
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.
