For improving feedback about thermal simulation results from engineers to architects, it is desirable to present them in the three-dimensional context of the building.
Sebastian Herkel, Frank Schöffel, José Dionísio
The ISE (Intelligent Simulation Environment) concept, developed by CSTB since the early nineties, has been applied to the development of various Simulation Environments (such as IISiBat III for TRNSYS or IISiBat II for COMIS).
Roger Pelletret, Werner Keilholz
The cooling effect caused by long wave radiation between the roof surface and the sky is studied here. The external surfaces may cool down below the dew point of the air and the condensation may form [1]. Typically, the covering of cold roofs has

The convective heat transfer coefficient at an outer ambient wall with a window exposed to natural climate was measured in a room with and without furniture.
Petter Wallentén
It is required that the urban air temperature is estimated on the average and macroscopically for studying the urban thermal environmental problems in summer.
Masakazu Moriyama and Hideki Takebayashi
Many of the popular building energy simulation programs around the world are reaching maturity– some use simulation methods (and even code) that originated in the 1960s. For more than two decades, the U. S.

One central idea of building simulation is to visualize calculated datavalues embedded in an in herently three dimensional building shape.
Peter Apian-Bennewitz
Energy Conservation Buildings are very effective for restraint of global warming, because they can reduce CO2 emissions in building operation, which account for 70% of Life Cycle emissions.
Hiroshi Ohga
Abrupt  faults  on  HVAC  components  as  blocked dampers or broken fan belt can be successfully detected by methods based on logic rules.
Olivier Morisot, Dominique Marchio
The high thermal insulation of housing construction has been spreading all over Japan, for the improvement of indoor environment and the efficiency of energy consumption.
Toshiya Chikada ,Takashi Inoue and Mamiko Kuwahara
A building simulation program has been developed and a model of a standard Swedish single family house has been built up. The model uses an explicit finite-difference method to calculate the temperatures of the next time step.
Svein H. Ruud and Per Fahlén
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is developing a new software (EnergyGauge USA) which allows simple calculation and rating of energy use of residential buildings around the United States.
Danny S. Parker, Paul A. Broman, John B. Grant Hugh I. Henderson Lixing Gu, Michael T. Anello, and Robin K. Vieira
Interoperability among software tools that are used in building design can make the use of building energy simulation tools more frequent and more effective.
Vladimir Bazjanac, Drury B. Crawley
This paper is focused on the development of measuring equipment of Effective Leakage Area (ELA) by AC pressurization method. The formula to design the measuring system is derived according to the governing equation of the leakage, e.g.
Yuko Watanabe, Hiroshi Kobayashi and Yasuo Utsumi
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of four energy analysis software to predict the energy performance of an existing house. The discussion covers: (i) the modelling-related issues, and (ii) the impact of modelling accuracy
R. Zmeureanu, J. Brau L. Bernard, Y. Vlym, F. Mordel, F. Timores
This paper reports on two case studies that explore the current use of computational tools in building design scenarios.
Pieter de Wilde, Godfried Augenbroe and Marinus van der Voorden
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

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
