Simulation-based design procedure to evaluate hybrid renewableenergy systems for residential buildings in Korea | 2005 | English
Energy and environment issues such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and ecological-friendly buildings are increasingly of interest in the Korean housing market.
A simplified optimization process (SOP) for determining set points is proposed and evaluated using the monitoring data and model of an existing VAV system.
This paper covers the innovative use of advanced numerical simulation in the field of structural engineering.
The Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme is a performance-based rating for office buildings.
Simulation of the effect of an energy recovery ventilator on indoor thermal conditions and system performance | 2005 | English
In recent years, indoor humidity levels are gaining greater attention in building design and operation, due to the increasing concern over moisture-related problems, such as mold growth, indoor air quality and discomfort of the occupants.
Two solution methods of heat transfer with phase change within whole building dynamic simulation | 2005 | English
The aim of the presented work is to compare two solution methods of specific and latent heat transfer in building components e.g.
The introduction of EU directives 2002/91/EC and 2003/87/EC both prompt a reduction in energy consumption from European buildings. Buildings account for 50% of European energy use.
This paper discusses the modification and testing of an existing dynamic thermal model to include the calculation of the effects of glazing and shading options such as slatted blinds.
This paper discusses an experience of teaching building simulation to students in a small class of a Masters program in an architecture school. This was a course in assessing building performance using an hourly thermal simulation program.
Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (ETAHE) technology has been implemented in many mechanical ventilation systems. A literature review revealed that recent advancements in ETAHE modeling were focused on simulating heat conduction in soil.
Building simulation tools (energy, lighting, plant simulation, CFD, etc) have long been the preserve of a few specialist consultancies rather than being used where they can have the greatest impact - by construction design practices.
This paper proposes a method for creating an extreme seven-day weather data set for HVAC design purposes and examines its suitability.
The potential of comfort daylighting design on improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings | 2005 | English
This paper explores means for more effectively exploiting daylight in buildings through extending periods of illumination free of glare problems. The key concept is to quantify and examine the impact of selected design parameters, e.g.
Specification of an IFC based intelligent graphical user interface to support building energy simulation | 2005 | English
Significant R&D work has been on going in the development of integrated software environments that support building energy simulation.
Simulation analysis of building humidity control and energy consumption for different system configurations | 2005 | English
In this paper, four different system configurations:
Thermal mass, insulation and ventilation in sustainable housing – an investigation across climate and occupancy | 2005 | English
Sustainable housing standards are reviewed including the UK 2005 building regulations, the UK Advanced Standard and EU Passive-house Standard. Conflicts between the standards are highlighted.
Predicting temperature and moisture distributions in conditioned spaces using the zonal approach | 2005 | English
Moisture is one of the main problems in buildings. In spite of the complexity to describe moisture physical phenomena, recent technological improvements have allowed them to be incorporated into building simulation programs.
The development of a test protocol for anon-line whole-building energy analysis tool for homeowners | 2005 | English
This paper presents the testing of a dynamic on-line whole-building energy calculator.
Simulation-based automated commissioning method for air-conditioning systems and its application case study | 2005 | English
This paper proposes an automated commissioning method for air-conditioning systems through comparing the measured energy consumption with the simulated energy consumption, which is simulated using a model newly developed through fitting manufactur
