Numerical simulation on simultaneous control process of indoor air temperature and of indoor air temperature and humidity | 1999 | English
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.
New experimental validation and model improvement tools for the Clim2000 energy simulation software program | 1999 | English
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
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.
Study on adaptive mesh generation method in CFD calculation with conjugate heat transfer model | 1999 | English
In order to make proper radiative meshes with considering thermal distribution on solid surfaces, we inves- tigated the adaptive mesh generation method and per- formed parametric survey for a threshold which con- trols subdivision of mesh.
It is important to apply the natural light effectively for the low energy consuming daylighting design.
Load prediction for aptimal thermal storage: comparison of three kinds of model application | 1999 | English
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
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.
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.
In this article, we present the dynamic modelling of a heating and air conditioning small output installation in a residential building. The main aim of this modelling study is to acquire a better knowledge of all phenomena which govern the behavi
The operation of technical building devices demands a lot of heating, cooling and electric energy. This also causes monetary costs and pollutant emission as well.
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.
Simulation of ventilation and indoor air quality in houses using average japanese daily schedule | 1999 | English
In order to explain the effect of ventilation systems and airtight performance of houses in detached houses, the investigation was made on a simulation program which calculates the ventilation rates and indoor air quality.
In this paper a new method called TSM was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is developing a new software (EnergyGauge USA) which allows simple calculation and rating of energy use of residential buildings around the United States.
Industry foundation classes and interoperable commercial software in support of design of energy-efficient buildings | 1999 | English
Interoperability among software tools that are used in building design can make the use of building energy simulation tools more frequent and more effective.
A building simulation program has been developed and a model of a standard Swedish single family house has been built up. The model uses an explicit finite-difference method to calculate the temperatures of the next time step.
