The diffusion process of kitchen gas exhausted to the outdoor air surrounding a multi-unit housing facility | 1999 | English
This paper examines the process by which the kitchen exhaust from a dwelling unit diffuses throughout the other dwelling units in a seven-story housing facility.
THERM 2.0: a building component model for seady-satate two-dimensional heat transfer | 1999 | English
THERM 2.0 is a state-of-the-art software program, available without cost, that uses the finite-element method to model steady-state, two-dimensional heat- transfer problems.
Towards the building as power plant: computacional analysis of building enrgy self-sustenance | 1999 | English
In recent years there have been a number of research and development initiatives directed at integrated energy generation systems which can meet the energy requirements of a building substantially or even completely on-site.
We present in this paper the essential aspects of the S2 system. This is the internet realization of SEMPER: An active, multi-domain, space-based, object oriented design environment for integrated building performance modeling.
The successful application of moisture simulation models to building envelopes requires accurate values of material transport properties. Unfortunately, although the presently-available database is reasonably voluminous, much of the informatio
Modeling and calibration of lateral heat loss rate in measuring the R value of partly heated wall | 1999 | English
An experimental apparatus (in-situ thermal test unit) and an analysis method have been developed for evaluating the thermal resistance of the building envelope on site.
Simulation of visual context in architecture, the environment that surrounds both building and observer, is an essential but problematic feature of realistic imagery.
An integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Olof Granlund Oy.
A major goal in computer-aided design research has been the development of integrated design for convenient generation and evaluation of evolving designs.
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.
M2M&Roofsol: a tool for evaluating the cooling performance of passive roof components using teh model synthesis method | 1999 | English
This communication presents a tool, m2m&Roofsol, which has been developed in the framework of a European project, ROOFSOL, dedicated to the study of passive cooling by roof components.
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
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.
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.
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.
Linking the comis multi-zone airflow model with the energyplus building energy simulation program | 1999 | English
This paper describes an effort to link the COMIS 3.0 multi-zone airflow model with the EnergyPlus building energy simulation program.
Numerical analysis on the production of cool exergy by making use of heat capacity of building envelopes | 1999 | English
This paper describes a method to calculate cool and warm exergies stored by building envelopes and the result of a case study in terms of passive cooling strategy using the building envelope heat capacity.
