The U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense (DOE and DOD) are jointly developing EnergyBase, a new building energy simulation tool that builds on the capabilities of BLAST and DOE-2.
Within the framework of the validation methodology of our computer software CLIM2000, we asked 12 users to do the same validation exercise (prediction of energy consumption of a residential house) in order to evaluate the influence of the model us
The implications of sky model selection for the prediction of daylight distribution in architectural spaces | 1997 | English
This paper investigates the implications of the selection of various sky luminance distribution models for the computational prediction of daylight distribution in architectural spaces.
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).
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.
A major barrier to using energy simulation tools during the design process of a building has been the difficulty of using the available programs.
The design of monitoring system for distnbuted energy and heat supply is presented in the paper.
COMIS 3.0: a new simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling | 1997 | English
COMIS 3.0 is a new simulation environment developed in the framework of IEA/ECB Annex 23. To our knowledge this is the first time that one of the Annexes of IEA/ECB produces as its main result a validated software not only designed for research la
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
