A simulation approach to the evaluation of coupled heat and mass transfer in building | 1991 | English
This paper describes the techniques used within the ESP environment# to simulate coupled heat and mass flows in integrated building and plant systems.
This paper presents a new, improved method for designing radiant panel heating systems using accepted thermal comfort criteria, mean radiant temperature, and radiant asymmetry as bases for decision making.
This paper presents a new technique for the thermal systems modelling. This method, based on the structural modularity of a thermal system such as a building belongs to the modal methods family.
The approach adopted by the Gaz de France Research Center for the modelling-simulation of building performance separates as far as possible modelling from simulation. Emphasis is placed on modelling and its validation.
