Numerical modeling of the influence of angle adjustment of A/C diffuser vanes on thermal comfort in a computer room | 2001 | English
Energy savings from the use of daylighting in commercial buildings are realized through implementation of photoelectric lighting controls that dim electric lights when sufficient daylight is available to provide adequate workplane illumina
When modernist architecture in the tropics started in the 30´of the 20th century, air-conditioning systems and special glazing were not yet available.
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 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
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.
The paper presents a dynamic approach of the validation process of existing building simulation model.
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.
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.
This paper presents the multiple-view performance assessment of an existing office building undertaken with an integrated application.
Sim_Zonal: software evaluating indoor temperature distributions and air movements for rapid appraisals - first application to an cell | 2001 | English
This article presents the first application of the Sim_Zonal software, a tool for evaluating indoor temperature and air flow distributions for residential and office buildings.
To meet the requirements of building owners and users in environmental issues, life cycle assessment (LCA) has become an important method to monitor the ecological perspective during design and decision making processes.
On the potential of computationally renderes scenes for lighting quality evaluation | 2001 | English
This paper describes an empirical study that was conducted to determine whether and to what extent subjective evaluation of lighting in architectural spaces can be reproduced using computationally rendered images of such spaces.
CEN TC247 has prepared draft standards for main types of room controllers.
A flow responsive algorithm was devised and implemented within the ESP-r simulation program to advance the modelling of internal surface convection.
Measurement and simulation of the thermal behavior of a massive building passive solar conditioning | 2001 | English
The measured thermal behavior of a massive building that uses passive techniques for indoor air conditioning is presented. The building thermal transient behavior was simulated with SIMEDIF code.
Advances in psychoacoustics through the years, have made it possible to evaluate the acoustical quality of a room, based on several numerical parameters that have been developed.
