New software (BASECALCTM) has been created for modelling heat losses from residential basements and slabs-on-grade.
This study was carried out on a real site gymnasium situated in the center of France. The building is equipped with two remarkable energy saving systems; running together: a ventilated roof and an air-earth exchanger.
The Centre Scientifique, et Technique du Bâtiment and Gaz-de-France carried out a comprehensive study for providing professionals with dimensioning rules for hot water floor heating systems.
CONTAM94 : a multizone airflow and contaminant dispersal model with a graphic user interface | 1995 | English
CONTAM94 is an easily used, public domain airflow and contaminant migration analysis program.combining algorithms for modeling airflow and contaminant dispersal in multizone buildings.
Integration of building energy simulation and HVAC design tools in the combine project | 1995 | English
Software packages form an integral part of the practices of most building design professionals today. Studies in the UK show that CAD is used in 81% of architectural practices.
Analytical solutions to the heat flow equation in a dynamic insulation is presented. A numerical least:squares method, called the gradient method, to estimate the steady state and transient air flow through a dynamic insulation is presented.
Development of a database of building envelope simulations for evaluating building envelope retrofits | 1995 | English
As part of a new Federal program to promote energy efficient retrofit of commercial buildings, voluntary private-sector partners evaluate potential envelope retrofits for their buildings.
The Research and Development Division at Gaz de France assesses; and improves building heating and cooling equipment by both experimental and modelling/simulation approaches.
Introduced in late 1993, MarketManager for Windows (MMWIN) is a productivity tool designed to meet the energy analysis needs of Utility DSM departments and of Performance Contractors.
This paper presents; the evaluation, of the impact of a CO2-based DCV system, which was performed bycomputer simulation.
Incorporating a modular system simulation program into a large energy analysis program : the linking of IBLAST and HVACSIM+ | 1995 | English
Most currently available hourly energy analysis programs utilize separate and sequential simulations of the building, air handling systems, and primary energy plants.
An integrated approach for energy saving and control optimisation of centralized air-conditioning system | 1995 | English
This paper presents an integrated approach for the energy saving, control optimization and BEMS/BMSapplication of centralized air conditioning systems.

The Neutral Model Format for building simulation was proposed in 1989 as a means for documentation and exchange of models.
Manufactured housing walls that provide satisfactory moisture performance in all climates | 1995 | English
We used the MOIST Computer Model to conduct a detailed analysis of the moisture performance of one wall typical of current construction practice in manufáctured housing, and mo new altemative wall designs with potential for better moisture perform
Even at the beginning of the concept and planning phase for low energy buildings co-operation between architect and different engineers is, mandatory.
IDA is a flexible, object-oriented, environment for simulation of buildings and their subsystems. The key features of the system are summarized. Available IDA literature is listed.
An Anglo-French collaborative project is presently under way with the dual purpose : a) to collect high quality data sets for the empirical validation of thermal simulation programs of buildings and b) to develop and test advanced data analysis te
An error analysis method applied to a building simulation software : an example of application and its results | 1995 | English
Within the framework of an Anglo-French validation project funded by EDF and the BRE, a building model has been tested using an error analysis method. The first step enabled the identification of the different discrepancy sources.
