Building designers are increasing their use of computer software to more effectively take advantage of analytical tools that are useful to the design process.
The layout of air-conditioning systems in building varies dramatically owing to the differences in conceptual design and the relationship between building and plant topologies.
Computer simulations play an important role in programs being conducted by electric utility companies in the United States to reduce customers' demand for electricity.
The limited development potential of current building simulation programs has spurred the design of a new generation of tools: object oriented simulation environments, where the latest in software technology and numerical methods is employed to pr
The "CALIN" project (Computer Aided Learning Integration System) aims at the development of a hybrid computer aided learning (CAL) integrated system for Engineering Education applied to Energy conscious design of buildings.
Development of a simple model to relate heating and cooling energy to building envelope thermal characteristics | 1993 | English
A new energy efficiency code for nonresidential buildings is being developed in Canada.
Software engineering is the structured approach to the development of computer software.
HOTCALC Microcomputer software for analysis of commercial water heating system performance | 1993 | English
The application, design, and sizing of commercial water heating systems has been hampered by the lack of an accessible tool for evaluating long-term performance and operating energy costs.
The design of buildings involve specialists from different disciplines, each performing tasks specific to their purpose, using data that describes the building in a particular way.
There is increasing concern and awareness of the contribution of the built environment to global environmental problems such as the depletion of the ozone layer, large-scale soil erosion and deposition, the generation of greenhouse gases, atmosphe
Improvements to User-friendliness of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Code for Simulation of Air Movement in Buildings. | 1993 | English
Starting from the basic governing equations for fluid flows, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is described.
