Thermal evaluation of strategies for an adequate housing in arid zones and their impact on energy saving | 1999 | English
Recent developments in photovoltaic components, small-scale combined heat and power systems and ducted wind turbines have opened up the possibility for an embedded generation approach to building design.
Building dynamic simulation has been available to building design engineers for some time.
Thermal comfort and pollutant transport prediction in the object oriented environment spark | 1999 | English
A coarse-grid zonal model of room air convection is formulated and written with the SPARK object- oriented simulation environment.
Construction and operation of buildings is internationally a major cause of resource depletion and environmental pollution.
This paper referrer to the existence of the variety modes and the 'chaos' in building ventilation system, and provides some instances of such varieties and the chaos in forced ceiling chamber smoke exhaust system in building fire. The numer
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.
Research on calculation method of thermal design load in radiant heating and coolind systems | 1999 | English
A new calculation method is proposed for designing space radiant heating/cooling systems by improving conventional methods of steady and unsteady heat transfer calculation theory which has usually been used for designing of buried pipe floor heati
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.
The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
Simulation of daylight performance of buildings by the daylight source model based on geostational meteorological satellite images | 1999 | English

Numerical analysis of annual exergy consumption for daylighting, electric-ligthing, and space heating/cooling system | 1999 | English
The purpose of this study is to show explicitly a series of exergy input, output, and consumption for daylighting, electric-lighting, and space heating/cooling system and hence to reveal how daylighting system consumes solar exergy and how electri
RARX algorithm based model development and application to real time data for on-line fault detection in Vav Ahu Units | 1999 | English
Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.
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.
Internal melt ice-on-coil tank with built-in horizontal tubes is a kind of ice tank used widely. Its discharge process is effected greatly by density different between ice and water.
A reduction in the emissions arising from urban activities demands a combination of energy efficiency measures and a move away from fossil fuel sources.
The purpose of this study is to develop the technique that mixing energy loss is predicted at the time of the air conditioning system design by the simulation.
In the present work, human thermal comfort is investigated within the built environment. The analysis is based on two building thermal simulation models.
