The majority of design studies on naturally ventilated that wind power is expected to provide a significant or mechanically ventilated buildings do not take component of the motive force for the ventilation account of the close relationship betwee
The use of a simulation tool in order to obtain the thermal performance passive solar houses in Portugal | 1997 | English
This paper describes the methodology used in a simulation process that pretend to compare predicted and measured values.
Optimisation of mechanical systems in an integrated building energy analysis program: part II: thermal storage-based central plant equipment | 1997 | English
This is the second of two papers that describe the development of simulation methods for optimally controlled central plant equipment in IBLAST (Integrated Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics).
Sun and climate modeling for thermal simulation: parametric models relevant at early design stages | 1997 | English
The traditionally engineering-oriented approach to thermal building simulations tends to leave such analysis tools out of the reach of general design practitioners, especially during the early stages of building design when many of the most influe
Stadium Australia is to be the centrepiece of the year 2000 Sydney Olympics. The architects aimed to minimise energy consumption by incorporating passive design measures which would provide ventilation, natural cooling and warming and daylight.
By describing three recent case-studies, this paper aims to elaborate the current state of building energy modelling and simulation in the Czech Republic in general, and at the Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague in particular.
Application of simulation in design and operation of refurbished buildings and heating systems | 1997 | English
This paper gives an introduction into the simulation of the thermic behaviour of a modernized building including the calculation of both single and two pipe heating by a new TYPE57 for simulation of heating pipe systems within the program TRNSYS.
In this paper, a new method of direct run - time coupling between building energy simulation and global illuminance simulation is outlined and discussed.
If a map of a city is encoded as a Digital Elevation Model, it becomes amenable to image-processing software, such as the public-domain NIH Image application.
Computation of sound propagation in enclosed spaces is needed for a variety of purposes such as noise exposure in industrial spaces, acoustic privacy conditions in open-plan office settings, and speech intelligibility in auditoriums.
This paper describes the simulation of electric storage heaters and their controls. A method for modelling manual control, inferred from transformer readings, is described.
This paper presents the theoretical modelling work of an elementary urban units (street), thermal behaviour.
The CLIM 2000 software environment [1] was developed by the Electricity Applications in Buildings Branch of the French utility company, Electricité de France.
A simulation software focused on HVAC energy consumption in large supermarkets, called Clim Top, has been recently developed in France.
A new method aimed at the selection of the best reduction technique for each given invariant linear system, such as those obtained when modelling the thermal behaviour of building envelopes, is presented here.
Numerical and experimetal assessment of a flow field in a ventilated industrial hall | 1997 | English
The paper presents the results from a numerical and experimental investigation of the velocity distribution in a ventilated industrial hall in the nuclear power plant in Bulgaria.
Earth heat exchangers are advantageous features to reduce energy consumption in residential buildings.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that mould infestation in buildings can have serious health implications for the occupants.
This paper reports the current state of an ongoing collaborative project which aims to promote modelling and simulation of energy in buildings by making self-learning course material available on the World Wide Web (WWW).
