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  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
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

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  paper   a   new  method  called  TSM  was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
Bin Zhao, Ying Li, Xianting Li and Qisen Yan
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
Minako Nabeshima and Kazuo Emura
This paper presents a mathematical model yielding a simplified representation of the thermal behaviors of ivy-covered walls. The model is integrated with a CFD program to implement simulation.
Liao Zaiyi, Niu J.L
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
Isaac G. Capeluto, E. Shaviv
The optimal supervisory control strategy for a central chilled water facility has been determined. A quadratic linear regression relation for the total system power in terms of the controlled and uncontrolled variables was  developed  using simula
B.C. Ahn, J.W. Mitchell
Simulation  of  cleaning  is  a  new  area  in  building simulations. To make rational cleaning is it important to know how difficult it is to clean rooms. I define a Cleaning Index (CI) as the cleaning area divided by the floor area.
Anker Nielsen
The  authors  propose  a  predicting  methodology combined with simultaneous solution for Building- Urban-Soil system to analyze the heat island phenomenon quantitatively in this paper. Using this model, numerical simulation is performed in order
Aya Hagishima, Jun Tanimoto, Tadahisa Katayama
Project REED (Residential Energy Efficiency Design) is a Web-based building performance simulation tool developed under contract to one of the nations largest utilities, to help their 4.5 million ratepayers make en- ergy efficient design decisions
Murray Milne, Carlos Francisco Gomez, Don Leeper, Jennifer Zurick, Ameet Nindra, Jiang Shen, Yoshi Kobayashi
In order to make proper radiative meshes with considering thermal distribution on solid surfaces, we inves- tigated the adaptive mesh generation method and per- formed parametric survey for a threshold which con- trols subdivision of mesh.

This paper presents the process followed for defining the features of the next-generation HOT2000 simulator, and the conclusions drawn at the workshops, concerning the most appropriate modelling approaches.
Debra Haltrecht, Radu Zmeureanu and I. Beausoleil-Morrison
The potential of building energy simulation is now well recognised and the use of the technology by progressive energy sector companies is growing. The success of any building performance assessment hinges on the capabilities of the tool, the coll

This  paper   describes   the   methodology  and   the implementation of DEST, which is a simulation software developed to help the designer during design process. For each design phase, DEST provides corresponding method and program.
Chen Feng and Jiang Yi
For effective energy use and level off electricity demand throughout the day, thermal energy storage system is getting popular in HVAC systems in Japan. Load profile prediction can provide information to plan optimal operation, and now, various pr
