The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
Masahide Yanagi, Tsuneo Uekusa, Jun-ichi Yamada and Kazumasa Shinjo
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
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.
Song Pan, Mingjie Zheng, Nobuo Nakahara
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
Air-conditioning systems with floor thermal storage can be used for cutting peak load and utilizing nighttime electric power.
Jung Jaehoon, Hokoi Shuichi and Urabe Wataru
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
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
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
Nadia Rahni, Nacim Ramdani, Yves Candau, Gilles Guyon
The purpose of this study is designing a hybrid system which is a combination of radiant cooling and low temperature air conditioning integrated with ice stor- age system.
Masafumi Kondo, Naoko Matsuki, Yukio Nakano, Toshiyuki Miyanaga, Tatsuo Oka
It is important to apply the natural light effectively for the low energy consuming daylighting design.
Norio Igawa, Hiroshi Nakamura and Kunio Matsuura
The  Simulation  Problem  Analysis  and  Research Kernel (SPARK) uses graph-theoretic techniques to match equations to variables and build computational graphs, yielding solution sequences indicated by needed data flow.
Edward F. Sowell, Philip Haves
This article presents the SIM-FAST software : it is a tool which allows to evaluate the energy consumption and the financial cost of French buildings in the Residential sector.
Francis Déqué, Laurent Catusse and Sophie Castanet
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
Nobuo Nakahara, Mingjie Zheng, Song Pan, Yoshihiko Nishitani
