A study of the of performance-based simulation tools for building design and evaluation in Singapore | 1999 | English
Application of complex energy simulation in competition design of Czech embassy en Ottawa | 1999 | English
This paper describes use of building energy performance modelling and simulation in design process at the early conceptual level of architectural design.
Traditional algorithms for the simulation of sound propagation in spatial enclosures include the image source method and the ray-tracing method. These algorithms are computation intensive and take a long time to generate results.
In multizone models used to predict thermal comportment of buildings and inside air quality, representation of the airflow through large vertical openings is very important.
This paper presents the preliminary modelling perspectives of an ongoing project where a exible simulation tool for component and system analysis of district heating consumer installations is developed. The simulation tool makes it possible to sim
Control of humidity and temperature in an atrium by cooling the surface of a pond in the atrium | 1999 | English
This paper presents a method for dynamic numerical analysis of the thermal environment in an atrium. In this study, the quantity of condensation on and the quantity of evaporation from the surface of water in a small pool (water surface area, 1m2)
A simulation of an underground heat storage system using midnight eletric power at Park Dome Kumamoto | 1999 | English
The purpose of this study is to investigate how much the peak daytime demand for electricity is reduced by an underground heat storage system that uses surplus electricity during the nighttime. In this paper, we report on a numerical simulation me
Analysis of heat and moisture behavior in underground space by quasilinearized method: accuracy range for outdoor climate varition from the reference | 1999 | English
Coupled heat and moisture transfer equations which describe temperature and moisture fields in the building walls, the earth ground and so on are nonlinear.
A model for simulation of daylighting and occupancy sensors as an energy control strategy for office buildings | 1999 | English
This paper describes a computer simulation model for assessing the potential energy savings in office buildings through the use of daylight and occupancy sensors.
A systems approach is developed for predictive operation of HVAC processes in buildings, which is described with an objective function, a state-space model, and a number of constraints.
In order to provide an integrated building design system that easily can be adapted by building designers, the Danish Building Research Institute has developed such system.
A combined analytic and case-based approach to thermal comfort prediction in buildings | 1999 | English
Despite the obvious importance of thermal comfort in the design of indoor environment, it has not been effectively integrated with design decision support tools.
A development of a HVAC experimental chamber and its numerical model, "Numerical HVAC experimental chamber" on a computer | 1999 | English
We first developed an actual HVAC experimental chamber including an air distribution system, an air handling unit, fan coil units, and control systems.
A comparative study of HVAC dynamic behavior between actual measurements and simulated results by HVACSIM+(J) | 1999 | English
A dynamic simulation of the HVAC system is being paid attention because of the development of the computer technology. Authors examined the reproducibility of HVACSIM+(J).
A case study of the energy performance of an office building with double-envelope and atrium | 1999 | English
This paper presents an investigation of the energy performance in an office building in Daejeon, Korea. The office building has a south-facing glazed double envelope and a rectangular atrium.
A comparison of methods to estimate hourly total irradiation on tilted surfaces from hourly global irradiation on a horizontal surface | 1999 | English
The IMAGE (IMplementation of Advanced Glazing in Europe) project was funded by the European Commission and involved glass manufactures, onsultants and research organisations (see acknowledgements).
