This work describes the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of flow and pollutant dispersion around a cube.
Thomas J Scanlon
While visual rendering of buildings is the state of the art in today' s design programs, acoustic or auditory rendering is still in its infancy.
Rudolf Rabenstein, Oliver Schips and Alexander Stenger
This paper presents a methodology to effectively model the performance of central chilled water plants in campus or multi-building complexes where detailed modeling of every building served by the plant is out of the question, usually due to budge
Ricardo Troncoso, P.E.
During the academic year 95-96 an NMF based model library has been developed by the IDA group.
Mika Vuolle, Axel Bring
The design of a naturally ventilated atrium was assessed using both wind tunnel and CFD methods to appraise and modify the response of the system to wind forces.
D.K.Alexander, H.G.Jenkins , P.J.Jones
In this paper ongoing work using the computer algebra system Maple V and the object-based en­vironment Spark is presented, that aim at the an­ alytical approximate resolution of problems en­countered in air flows in dwelling zones, using computer
S. Gagneau, J.M. Nataf and E. Wurtz
The present  paper  describes  how  the  use of a modal synthesis method in the study of the thermal behaviour of buildings both facilitates and hastes the modelling step concerning the problem of linear conduction in multidimensional components.
Christophe Durmort, Bernard Flament
A comparison is made between two thermal simulation modelling programs with particular reference to HVAC plant modelling.
Christopher Underwood
The IMAGE project aims to generate new performance information for advanced glazing and identify opportunities for applications.
J Clarke, M Janak, P Ruyssevelt, R Cohen and J Bates
Multiple regression analysis (MRA) is useful for developing energy prediction equations from the results of building energy simulation.
Sam C. M. Hui
The use of daylighting and artificial lighting simulation programs to calculate complex systems and models in the design practice often is impeded by the fact that the operation of these programs, especially the model input, is extremely complicat
Hans Erhorn, Jan de Boer, Michael Dirksmöller
A new system for accessing wall and roof transfer function coefficients has been developed.
Ali M. Malkawi, John Wambaugh
Full simulation of a building’s HVAC control is important. Good control is the most cost-effective way to reduce plant size and save energy and maintenance cost.
E.H. Mathews and E. van Heerden
This paper presents the results of a neuro fuzzy control setting the fan-coils air flow rate of three zones of a dwelling to improve the comfort.
B. Egilegor, J.P. Uribe, G. Arregi, E. Pradilla, L. Susperregi
A new method for predicting and evaluating the energy performance of large commercial and institutional buildings is developed, as an alternative to using existing comprehensive energy simulation programs like DOE-2 and BLAST, or oversimplified to
Bass Abushakra
Much of the current building simulation research and development concentrates on improving user interfaces to simulation “engines”. The goal seems to be to make the software easier to use. This begs two questions: what interface to use?
