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.
Edward Ng, Khee-Poh Lam, Wei Wu, Takehiko Nagakura
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
In  order  to  evaluate  the  air  conditioning  system performance in terms of control, comfort and energy conservation, this paper presents an approach to modeling automatic control process in a typical conditioned space of an office building.
Jun Cui, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Yuji Ryu, Yasunori Akashi and Norimitsu Nishiyama
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
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
The purpose of this study is designing a hybrid system which is a combination of radiant cooling and low temperature air conditioning integrated with ice stor- age system.
Masafumi Kondo, Naoko Matsuki, Yukio Nakano, Toshiyuki Miyanaga, Tatsuo Oka
It is important to apply the natural light effectively for the low energy consuming daylighting design.
Norio Igawa, Hiroshi Nakamura and Kunio Matsuura
This  work  has  allowed  to  test  different  model improvement tools, by applying them on two building models. At the close of this study, an important point concerning the capability of the CLIM2000 software program to perform exact derivative

The  Simulation  Problem  Analysis  and  Research Kernel (SPARK) uses graph-theoretic techniques to match equations to variables and build computational graphs, yielding solution sequences indicated by needed data flow.
Edward F. Sowell, Philip Haves
This article presents the SIM-FAST software : it is a tool which allows to evaluate the energy consumption and the financial cost of French buildings in the Residential sector.
Francis Déqué, Laurent Catusse and Sophie Castanet
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
Nobuo Nakahara, Mingjie Zheng, Song Pan, Yoshihiko Nishitani
The operation of technical building devices demands a lot of heating, cooling and electric energy. This also causes monetary costs and pollutant emission as well.
Gottfried Knabe, Clemens Felsmann
In order to explain the effect of ventilation systems and airtight performance of houses in detached houses, the investigation was made on a simulation program which calculates the ventilation rates and indoor air quality.
Motoya Hayashi, Masamichi Enai, Yoshiko Hirokawa
In this article, we present the dynamic modelling of a heating and air conditioning small output installation in a residential building. The main aim of this modelling study is to acquire a better knowledge of all phenomena which govern the behavi
