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

The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison
The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).

This paper introduces a method to simulate the day-light performance of buildings using geostational me- teorological satellite images.
Yoshiaki Uetani
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

Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.
Harunori Yoshida and Sanjay Kumar
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.

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.
Zhu Yingxin, Yan Zhang
A reduction in the emissions arising from urban activities demands a combination of energy efficiency measures and a move away from fossil fuel sources.
J.A. Clarke, J.L.M. Hensen, C.M. Johnstone and I. McDonald
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.
Shoichi Kojima, Hitoshi Yamazaki, Toshiyuki Watanabe
In  the  present  work,  human  thermal  comfort  is investigated within the built environment. The analysis is based on two building thermal simulation models.
C. O. R. Negrão, C. O. Carvalho Fo., C. Melo
The paper discusses the development of a computational thermal simulation engine as  an object. The simulation engine utilizes Transfer Function (TF) Algorithms where all TF procedures have been implemented.
Ali M. Malkawi, John Wambaugh
A practical way to estimate the accuracy of sound field analysis by the finite element method in building environments is presented here.
Toru Otsuru and Reiji Tomiku
In  order  to  evaluate  the  air  conditioning  system performance in terms of control, comfort and energy conservation, this paper presents an approach to modeling automatic control process in a typical conditioned space of an office building.
Jun Cui, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Yuji Ryu, Yasunori Akashi and Norimitsu Nishiyama
A  method  for  evaluating  solar  rights  and  shading requirements in an urban environment is presented. The method is embedded in a CAD tool developed and adapted for this purpose.
A. Yezioro, E.Shaviv
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.
T.T. Chow, Z. Lin, Q.W. Wang and J.W.Z. Lu
This  work  has  allowed  to  test  different  model improvement tools, by applying them on two building models. At the close of this study, an important point concerning the capability of the CLIM2000 software program to perform exact derivative
