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
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
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
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
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
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
Graham H Galbraith, R Craig McLean, Jiansong Guo, David Kelly, Chee-Kong Lee
This paper introduces a method to simulate the day-light performance of buildings using geostational me- teorological satellite images.
Yoshiaki Uetani
The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison
The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
Masahide Yanagi, Tsuneo Uekusa, Jun-ichi Yamada and Kazumasa Shinjo
Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.
Harunori Yoshida and Sanjay Kumar
Based on K- two equation turbulence model, we used PHOENICS 1.4 and numerically simulated air distribution and contamination field under different conditions in a vector- flow clean room.
Guangbei Tu, Wenhao Chen, Lai Wang
The purpose of this study is to show explicitly a series of exergy input, output, and consumption for daylighting, electric-lighting, and space heating/cooling system and hence to reveal how daylighting system consumes solar exergy and how electri
Hideo Asada, Masanori Shukuya
The purpose of this study is to develop the technique that mixing energy loss is predicted at the time of the air conditioning system design by the simulation.
Shoichi Kojima, Hitoshi Yamazaki, Toshiyuki Watanabe
Internal   melt   ice-on-coil   tank   with   built-in horizontal tubes is a kind of ice tank used widely. Its discharge process is effected greatly by density different between ice and water.
Zhu Yingxin, Yan Zhang
A reduction in the emissions arising from urban activities demands a combination of energy efficiency measures and a move away from fossil fuel sources.
J.A. Clarke, J.L.M. Hensen, C.M. Johnstone and I. McDonald
The paper discusses the development of a computational thermal simulation engine as  an object. The simulation engine utilizes Transfer Function (TF) Algorithms where all TF procedures have been implemented.
Ali M. Malkawi, John Wambaugh
In  the  present  work,  human  thermal  comfort  is investigated within the built environment. The analysis is based on two building thermal simulation models.
C. O. R. Negrão, C. O. Carvalho Fo., C. Melo
A  method  for  evaluating  solar  rights  and  shading requirements in an urban environment is presented. The method is embedded in a CAD tool developed and adapted for this purpose.
A. Yezioro, E.Shaviv
The  use  of  split-type  air-conditioners  in  new apartment buildings becomes popular in Hong Kong. One requirement for their effective use is satisfactory heat rejection at the outdoor condensing units.
T.T. Chow, Z. Lin, Q.W. Wang and J.W.Z. Lu
A practical way to estimate the accuracy of sound field analysis by the finite element method in building environments is presented here.
Toru Otsuru and Reiji Tomiku
