In this report, recently developed computer program named TB3D/FDM(Thermal Bridge Computa- tion by 2- or 3-Dimensional Finite Difference Method) is introduced.
Hideyo Nimiya, Hiroshi Akasaka, Satoshi Obara and Kiyoshi Itami
This paper is focused on the evaluation of simulation system using the experiment result and the con- figuration of peri-counter which is the part of counter unit setting at bottom of window side with heat panel to avoid the influence of cold draf

This paper presents the Umidus program which has been developed to model coupled heat and moisture transfer within porous media, in order to analyze higrothemal performance of building  elements when subjected to any kind of climate conditions. Bo

The  traditional  methods  for  the  evaluation  of  the thermal performance of buildings are appropriate to winter conditions and are often used in standards that regulate energy consumption.
Maria Akutsu and Fúlvio Vittorino
The paper outlines a two-year research program where Radiance was used in the conversion of Empress Place, a national monument in Singapore, into an Asian Civilisation Museum.

In calculating the heat flows around the floor plenum of underfloor air distribution system, the convective heat transfer coefficient is an influential factor, but it is not clearly known which value should be taken.
Hisashi Fujita and Sadao Tomiie
Solar energy and wind energy are one of renewable energies, and they are inexhaustible energy source which are available anywhere.
Masafumi Terawaki and Isamu Suzuki
The numerical model for the analysis of the combined convective-conductive heat transfer in the building components has been developed.

If an insulated and airtight house is cooled by passive ventilation using buoyant convection, the indoor air temperature can be kept lower than the outdoor air temperature, but there is a tendency for the indoor humidity to remain at a high level.
Shigeki Nishizawa, Masamichi Enai and Takeo Yuasa
Most of the Brazilian population is concentrated in the shore region in cities like Rio de Janeiro.

There  are  two  kind  of  supply  fan  rotation  speed control methods, one is the static pressure control method, the other is the float pressure control method. Simulation shows that they have different working point along the whole year.
Xue Zhifeng,Chen Feng and Jiang Yi
An evaluation method for life cycle energy (LCE) and CO2 (LCCO2) of houses by the  system dynamics (SD), a method for understanding how all the objects in a system interact with one another, was presented.
Hiroshi Matsumoto
Based  on  the  thermal  and  airflow  network  model with simple but perfect generic formulations and stable solving methods, a computer program NETS for the practical simulation of coupled building heat, gas and air transfer system has been deve

This  paper  examines  the  process  by  which  the kitchen exhaust from a dwelling unit diffuses throughout the other dwelling units in a seven-story housing facility.
Shinnichiro Nagano
Up to now, within the framework of validation of the global building energy simulation software programme CLIM2000, we have not focused on analytical verification.
Gilles Guyon, Stéphane Moinard, Nacim Ramdani
THERM  2.0  is  a  state-of-the-art  software  program, available without cost,  that uses the finite-element method to model steady-state, two-dimensional heat- transfer problems.
Charlie Huizenga, Dariush Arasteh, Elizabeth Finlayson, Robin Mitchell, Brent Griffith, Dragan Curcija
We present in this paper the essential aspects of the S2 system. This is the  internet realization of SEMPER: An active, multi-domain, space-based, object oriented design environment for integrated building performance modeling.
Ardeshir Mahdavi, Mustafa Emre Ilal, Paul Mathew, Robert Ries, Georg Suter, Rohini Brahme
In recent years there have been a number of research and development initiatives directed at integrated energy generation systems which can meet the energy requirements of a building substantially or even completely on-site.
Paul Mathew, Volker Hartkopf, Ardeshir Mahdavi
The  successful  application of  moisture  simulation models to building envelopes requires accurate values of material transport properties. Unfortunately, although the presently-available database is reasonably voluminous, much of the informatio

Nowadays   architects   commonly   use   the   ‘coupled space concept’. Examples are mezzanines, half-open office spaces and exhibition rooms.
