SETIS is aiming at building a computer support for building thermal design. It deals both with the envelop of building and with its HVAC system.
Well insulated walls of residences experience temperature depression in their outer layers during cold weather, causing moisture to condense on the surfaces.
Multi Approaches of Comfort in Architectural Design of Resdential Buildings: the AMACH Project. | 1991 | English
The ever widening range of skills necessary for architectural design requires a specialisation of each player working together toward the same goal within a number of distributed tasks.
Simulation of thermal building behaviour based on an object oriented ADA implementation | 1991 | English
The simulation complexity of the thermal behaviour of buildings can be reduced by splitting it up as a hierarchical system of linked components.
The Energy Kernel System (EKS) project has reached the final year of its three year duration. The modus operandi has been designed, a class taxonomy devised and the software implementation process commenced.
In this paper, we want to show an application of fuzzy control to building thermal regulation.
General continuous simulation of today is a handicraft mastered by a small group of experts. Systematic modelling techniques and supporting tools are beginning to emerge, promising access to advanced simulation also for less experienced users.
Scale models and CFD for the analysis of air flow in passively ventilated buildings | 1991 | English
A new bioclimatic building concept based on solardriven ventilation is analysed through the use of physical and numerical modelling.
A numerical study of turbulent air flow in ventilated multi-room configurations, where both of buoyancy- and radiation-effects are of importance, is described in this paper.
The simulation of the transient behaviour of buildings is becoming more important as faster and cheaper computers reach the market. Many simulation programs and specialized tools have been developed to simulate complex situations.
A Statiscally-Based Hourly Weather Data Generator for Driving Energy Simulation and Equipment Design Software for Buildings | 1991 | English
This paper describes an operating hourly weather simulation model which is utilized to drive building energy simulation and equipment design software.
This paper discusses recent efforts to develop an intelligent front end (IFE) for a building energy simulation model using a readily available expert system shell.
A response-factor method for calculating coupled heat and moisture transfer in building | 1991 | English
Analytical solutions for coupled diffusion of heat and moisture through a material are used to develop a generalisation of the wellknown 2 x 2 matrix method for describing heat flow only.
An Educational Desing For Courseware Relating To Heating Load Calculations in Buildings | 1991 | English
Courseware is educational software, designed to create an instructional environment, for the purpose of facilitating learning.
The presentation of most HVAC simulation programs are out of date and batch processing type. Their use is complex and often requires a good data processing knowledge.
A first order correction to uni-directional heat transfer is proposed, so that multi-dimensional heat transfer effects can be accounted for with only a moderate increase in storage and CPU timerequirements.
Application of Simulation programs to the Assessment of Overhekating Rosks in Buildings and the of IEA Annex 21 | 1991 | English
This paper describes the objectives of International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex 21 and the ongoing work of Subtask B which deals with how programs should be used for particular applications.
A transient model for analyzing the hygrothermal behavior of building constructions | 1991 | English
While advanced models for combined heat and moisture transfer have been available in the community of building scientists within the last two decades, such models have not yet become an item in the toolbox of consultants, building designers or man
Fast accurate micro-computer simulations of the thermal, lighting, and energy performance of buildings offers the promise of informing architects' design decision-making.
