Modeling and calibration of lateral heat loss rate in measuring the R value of partly heated wall | 1999 | English
Simulation of visual context in architecture, the environment that surrounds both building and observer, is an essential but problematic feature of realistic imagery.
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.
A major goal in computer-aided design research has been the development of integrated design for convenient generation and evaluation of evolving designs.
Selection and control of HVAC systems for optimal life-cycle efficiency using simulation techniques | 1999 | English
Design of air conditioning systems for efficient and effective part-load operation poses a considerable challenge, but one which is frequently not appreciated by the designer tied to traditional design practices.
M2M&Roofsol: a tool for evaluating the cooling performance of passive roof components using teh model synthesis method | 1999 | English

Numerical prediction of hot water flow and temperature distribution in thermal storage tank | 1999 | English
In order to evaluate energy efficiency of solar hot water systems, a calculation method was developed in this paper that models the unsteady flow and temperature distribution in heat storage tank utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Compa
The research on provision of computational support for building performance analysis has traditionally concentrated on the building design phase. However, computational modeling can also effectively apply to the building operation phase.
This paper decribes a research project to compare, using simulation, the summertime comfort and energy use of naturally ventilated and mixed-mode (limited cooling) UK office buildings.
The LESCOM program using the Response Factor Method developed by the authors was applied to the direct gain system and calculation of fluctuations in room temperature.
Research on calculation method of thermal design load in radiant heating and coolind systems | 1999 | English
A new calculation method is proposed for designing space radiant heating/cooling systems by improving conventional methods of steady and unsteady heat transfer calculation theory which has usually been used for designing of buried pipe floor heati
Studyind thermal performance of split-type air-conditioners at building re-entrant via computer simulation | 1999 | English
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.
