A simulation program VENTOLA was developed to study behaviour of the microclimatic situation inside buildings housing domestic animals.
Pavel Kic, Roberto Chiumenti, Stefano Bortolussi, Francesco da Borso
New developments of both user-friendly interfaces and mathematical models have been added to the very known software package TRNSYS /2/, a transient system simulation program, during the last year.
M. Schuler, H. Meyer, A. Knirsch, S. Holst, M. Hiller, W. A. Beckmann, N. Blair
The  traditional  round  hut  has  been  analysed  by simulating the sensitivity of its different components in order to establish their relative performance.
Albert Malama and Steve Sharples
A new generation building simulation tool combines the most important inter-acting physical processes (air infiltration and ventilation, heat transfer, and indoor air quality) in an reliable, effective, and flexible way.
Pekka Tuomaala, Kalevi Piira, Mika Vuolle
General models for heat and mass transfer components have been developed for use in TRNSYS [1] thermal system simulations.
R. J. Rabehl, W. A. Beckman, J. W. Mitchell
The conception of complex buildings with innovative facade elements often demands dynamic building simulations. In some cases the required thermal parameters of the components must be obtained by experimental investigations.
Olaf Gutschker and Harald Rogaß
The numerical model for verification of various radon protective measures has been developed. This model is based on the partial differencial equation for the two-dimensional steady-state radon transport caused by diffusion and convection.
Martin Jiranek & Zbynek Svoboda
We show here the actual state of a project based on n object-oriented philosophy, MotorLab.
Gilles Lefebvre, Elena Palomo, Maria del Mar Izquierdo
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provide an environment of interoperability among IFC-compliant software applications in the architecture, engineering, construction, and facilities management (AEC/FM) industry.
Vladimir Bazjanac, Drury B. Crawley
The   purpose of our research deals with the description of a methodology for the definition of specific weather sequences and their influence  on the energy needs of HVAC system. We’ll apply the method on the tropical Reunion Island.
L. Adelard, F. Garde, F. Pignolet-Tardan, H. Boyer, J.C. Gatina
This is the first of two papers that describe the development of simulation methods for optimally controlled central plant equipment which have been implemented in the IBLAST (Integrated Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics) building
Russell D. Taylor and Curtis O. Pedersen
The simulated cooling plant equips an office building whose maximum cooling demand is about 5 MW.
Jean-Pascal Bourdouxhe, Philippe André
The purpose of this paper is to present a new method to energy analysis. The method consist three different phases: in the first phase the target values of energy consumption are determined.
Risto Kosonen & Jari Shemeikka
Thermal storage tanks are widely used in Japan mainly to shift electrical energy usage to night time for the purpose of peak demand reduction. However, the operation of the system has not often been accepted with satisfaction in a real field.
Harunori Yoshida & Tatsuo Inooka
A series of linked spreadsheets has been developed for the analysis and modeling of thermal and daylighting effects on the flow of energy in buildings.
David Lord
HOT2000™, a residential energy analysis program, is constantly under evolution. New models are added to the program and its user base is ever expanding.
Debra Haltrecht, Kathleen Fraser
The paper deals with the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) application to the comfort optimization of some complex architectural projects in which the physical interaction effects between the building and its environment affect strongly the build
Blazej Ochocinski
The control strategy of the thermal storage HVAC system gives a large effect to the storage efficiency which dominates the tank volume to a great extent. Authors introduce how the temperature distribution of the tank varies and gives a considerabl
Nobuo Nakahara, Mingjie Zheng and Yoshihiko Nishitani
This paper describes a recent extension to the ESPr system concerned with the simulation of facade and roof-integrated photovoltaic modules.
Clarke J A, Johnstone C, Kelly N and Strachan P A
An extensive experimental program on single sided natural ventilation was  carried  out  within the frame of PASCOOL EC research project.
Mat Santamouris, Elena Dascalaki
