In a larger research program on ‘cost versus value evaluations in the early design stages of technical buildings’, a study and software implementation has been made to simulate HVAC expertise using an Integrated Early Design Environment.
Formal independent testing has been an integral component in the development of EnergyPlus, a new building energy simulation program. Testing to date has included analytical, comparative, sensitivity, range, and empirical tests.
Use of energy performance simulation for operation cost distribution in multipurpose conventional centre | 2001 | English
The paper describes case study of application of computer simulation in the field of operational energy costs distribution in the building with variable operation and no possibility of direct energy consumption measuring.
The simultaneous optimization of building fabric construction: HVAC system size, and the plant control strategy | 2001 | English
The simultaneous optimization of building’s fabric construction, the size of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and the HVAC system supervisory control strategy, would auto- matically account for the thermal coupling between
We present the practical application of two models SustArc (Capeluto and Shaviv 1997, 1999) and FLUENT 5.0.2 (1999) to the design of a new business district in Tel Aviv incorporating solar and wind rights.
Urban climate and its influence on energy consumption a case study in two brazilian cities | 2001 | English
Two prototype office buildings with low internal gains were simulated using DOE2 software to evaluate its energy consumption in different urban microclimates.
This paper deals with the development and the testing of a simulation algorithm for the temperature behaviour and the flow characteristics of double façades.
For users and developers of energy simulation software tools, knowledge of which inputs have a signif- icant impact on the simulation results is very impor- tant, as this will dictate which areas of the building justify additional development and
This paper describes a new approach of using simulation directly in construction industry in Czech Republic.
This paper summarizes the recently concluded PhD study by the first author. The study addressed uncertainties in building performance evaluations and their potential impact on design decisions.
Knowledge management for comfortableness and the energy saving of building management | 2001 | English
This paper proposed two simulation methods of the “Cooperation control “. The Cooperation control is defined the optimize connecting control in the HVAC, artificial lighting and day-lighting combined with venetian blind control. The first method
Solar radiation induced convection occurs quite often in glazed spaces. In spite of that the impact of solar radiation to airflow inside rooms and buildings is not usually taken into account when airflow patterns are studied.
SIMULA_3D : a multi_zone unsteady thermal simulation tool based on a 3D modelling of the building | 2001 | English
Generally, geometrical data of the building do not constitute an usual detailed input for the thermal simulations, but nevertheless they become necessary as soon as accuracy is needed to take into account incoming solar energy, to measure the radi
The potential offered by computer simulation is often not realized: Due to the interaction of system vari- ables, simulation users rarely know how to choose input parameter settings that lead to optimal perfor- mance of a given system.
This paper describes the development and validation of a simulation model for Advanced Integrated Mechanical Systems (AIMS) destined for residential applications.
The application of a passive cooling system to animal housing was evaluated.
Integration of building simulation into the design process of an architecture practice | 2001 | English
A key barrier to the acceptance of simulation within building design has been identified as the fact that it is not fully integrated into the design process.
This paper discusses the first full version of IDEA-l, a new natural-lighting design tool for the early stages of the architectural design process.
This paper describes a simplified computational model to predict indoor air temperature distribution. This model is based on the energy conservation equation combined with a scaling analysis of the momentum equation.
