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..
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.
Current state-of-the-art of integrated thermal and lighting simulation and future issues | 1999 | English
This paper describes a simulation based method for the integrated performance appraisal of buildings incorporating daylight utilisation technologies.
Effect of sweat accumulation in clothing on transient thermophysiological response of human body to the environment | 1999 | English
The experiments involving clothed subjects are conducted to reproduce the situation in which people enter an air-conditioned room just after sweating, and analyzed using a combined model, which consists of two-node model for thermophysiological re
IDA Indoor Climate and Energy is a recently developed tool for building performance modelling and simulation. It represents a new generation of BPM software in several ways.
This paper explains the development of a dedicated configuration tool for the HVACSIM+ simulation environment. This computer-based tool eases configuration by exploiting a visual metaphor of a simulation subject.
Enhancing and extending the capabilities of the building heat balance simulation technique for use in EnergyPlus | 1999 | English
With the advent of the computing age, heat balance based techniques for simulating thermal loads in buildings became a reality for architects and engineers.
Many recent, moisture-originated failures in low-rise residential and high-rise residential/commercial buildings have put a significant pressure to change construction codes in North America and Europe.
Dynamic optimization technique for control of HVAC system utilizing building thermal storage | 1999 | English
This paper proposes a dynamic optimization technique for building heating and cooling systems. The proposed algorithm returns trajectories for space temperature setpoints throughout a specified period that will minimize objective functions such as
The paper describes the development of a su pervisory control scheme that adapts to the presence of degradation faults and minimises any resulting increase in energy consumption or deterioration in occupant comfort Since there is a high deg
The objective of the work presented in this paper is to develop a building performance assessment tool that will assist the design process rather than be aimed at giving endorsement to a completed design. he paper discusses the concepts behind the
EESLISM is a tool developed to simulate the whole energy system consisting of both building thermal system and mechanical system for heating and cooling and domestic hot water supply.
Influence of turbulent wind on air change rates an application with Clim2000 software program | 1999 | English
In the framework of a collaboration between EDF and CSTB, we carried out a specific experimental protocol in Bouin house (CSTB site, house completely dedicated for infiltration and air change measurement) with different configurations to study the
This research is aimed to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in the building by using the expert system (ES) based on the artificial intelligence (AI). The diagnosis tool of IAQ and ventilation design tool corresponding to 9 kinds of pollutants were
Evalution of distribution system performance in district heating and cooling system | 1999 | English
In this study, energy simulation program of heat distribution network in a district heating and cooling system was developed. Research on actual condition of heat distribution system of DHC plant was also executed.
Currently used design tools for kitchen design are often complicated, have poor interfaces and limited capabilities to exchange data between different applications.
Addressing the complexity underlying design questions does not appear to be sufficient reason for simulation to be widely deployed in design practice.
