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.
Numerical analysis of air temperature increases in urban area using the building-urban-soil simultaneous simulation model | 1999 | English
The authors propose a predicting methodology combined with simultaneous solution for Building- Urban-Soil system to analyze the heat island phenomenon quantitatively in this paper. Using this model, numerical simulation is performed in order
An integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Olof Granlund Oy.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Dynamic optimization technique for control of HVAC system utilizing building thermal storage | 1999 | English
This paper proposes a dynamic optimization technique for building heating and cooling systems. The proposed algorithm returns trajectories for space temperature setpoints throughout a specified period that will minimize objective functions such as
The paper describes the development of a su pervisory control scheme that adapts to the presence of degradation faults and minimises any resulting increase in energy consumption or deterioration in occupant comfort Since there is a high deg
The objective of the work presented in this paper is to develop a building performance assessment tool that will assist the design process rather than be aimed at giving endorsement to a completed design. he paper discusses the concepts behind the
EESLISM is a tool developed to simulate the whole energy system consisting of both building thermal system and mechanical system for heating and cooling and domestic hot water supply.
Influence of turbulent wind on air change rates an application with Clim2000 software program | 1999 | English
In the framework of a collaboration between EDF and CSTB, we carried out a specific experimental protocol in Bouin house (CSTB site, house completely dedicated for infiltration and air change measurement) with different configurations to study the
