Strategies for coupling energy simulation and computacional fluid dynamics programs | 2001 | English
Energy simulation (ES) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can play important roles in building design by providing complementary information about the buildings’ environmental performance.
The need for computacional support in energy-efficient design projects in the Netherlands | 2001 | English
This paper reports on a research project that investigates the need for computational support for a specific stage of the building design process: the selection of energy saving components.
This paper refers to the existence of the variety modes and 'Chaos' in building natural ventilation or smoke venting, systems, and provides the some computational instances by means of the network model.
The HVAC BESTEST has been developed within the framework of the IEA (International Energy Agency) It is a comparative test method developed for estimating the ability of whole building simulation programs to model the performance of unitary space
Potential for heat stress relief using desiccant systems in swinw breeding facilities | 2001 | English
Heat stress associated with extreme temperatures and relative humidity has been shown to reduce the productivity from swine facilities, especially breeding facilities.
The paper presents a dynamic approach of the validation process of existing building simulation model.
New façades system consisting of combined photovoltaic and solar thermal generators with building insulation | 2001 | English
Most photovoltaic (PV) facades are built as curtain facades in front of thermally insulated buildings with air ducts in between.
This work regards the development and the validation a simplified model for building cooling energy requirement.
A structured, generalized modeling and simulation software is described that enables development and analysis of control algorithms and systems and pre- diction of thermal performance and energy use in buildings.
The Energy and Environmental Prediction (EEP) model is an environmental auditing and decision making tool for cities, to be used by planners and others in pursuit of sustainable development.
Optimising energy consumption in offices as a function of window area and room size | 2001 | English
Windows allow daylight to enter a space but they also allow for the transfer of heat gains and losses that affect the energy consumption of a building.
