Building simulation by application of a HVAC system considering the thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls | 2001 | English
This article introduces building simulation in conjunction with a HVAC system, especially a split system, considering thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls.
Daylighting in commercial buildings: the use of new components and design solutions to optimize visual comfort | 2001 | English
The use of daylighting in buildings can be an improvement when trying to enhance the environmental quality and the energy efficiency of them.
We describe a mathematical model applied to analysis of hygrothermal behavior of buildings.
CODYBA is a software addressed to designers, teachers and research organisms. This software determines the energetic fluxes of a building zone. The basic data are the zones geometry and constitution.
Development and demonstration of a renewable of a renewable energy demand/supply decision profession | 2001 | English
Future cities are likely to be characterised by a greater level of renewable energy systems deployment.
Estimating relative humidity from outdoor air temperature and humidity, and indoor air temperature is a means to assess thermal comfort conditions when indoor relative humidity is not available.
Horizontal and vertical brises soleil are dominant elements in the modernist tropical architecture.
The energy efficiency of switchable (variable transmittance) windows having a control system based on occupancy, temperature and impinging solar radiation is evaluated.
Distributed web-based building performance computing: a Singapore-US collaborative effort | 2001 | English
This paper reports on the progress of the S2 project. This is an ongoing effort toward an Internet-based environment for distributed collaborative performance-based building design and evaluation.
This paper deals with comparison between the CFD method and the zonal one, and also model experimental validation. The zonal method consists of a dwelling decomposition in several isothermal air zones, in contact with walls.
This paper describes the modelling and simulation work that was carried out to support the design team of the new "Indonesian Jungle" pavilion in Prague Zoo.
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has recently become the W3C Standard for commu nicating data over the Internet.
In object based models, conversion becomes necessary when there is a mismatch among the representations of same physical quantity at the ports of different objects that need to be connected.
The paper is focused on the application of the simulation in the field of the space heating systems, based on the infrared radiant heaters. In the first part is preview of different sw packages.
