Load prediction for aptimal thermal storage: comparison of three kinds of model application | 1999 | English
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
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.
Simulation of ventilation and indoor air quality in houses using average japanese daily schedule | 1999 | English
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.
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.
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.
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
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.
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.
When some faults take place in a thermal storage HVAC system, changing pattern of the temperature profiles of the thermal storage tank is useful to infer where some faults exist.
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
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
Numerical analysis of air temperature increases in urban area using the building-urban-soil simultaneous simulation model | 1999 | English
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
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
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.
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
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
Simplified equations are established to estimate the energy consumption for the heating and cooling of residences, with the coefficients like air-conditioning area rate, air-conditioning-hour rate, etc..
