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.
Direct building energy simulation based on large Eddy techniques and Lattice Boltzmann methods | 2001 | English
The modeling of convective flows with 3D lattice Boltzmann fluid dynamics is presented using a lattice BGK approach for low Mach number flows with variable density combined with a large eddy turbulence model.
We present an advanced formulation of zonal models for calculating indoor air temperature and flow distributions in buildings. Our modeling is based on modularity:
Daylighting systems for the tropics example of laser cut panels (Austrália) and plexiglas daylight (Germany) | 2001 | English
In recent years several daylighting systems were developed. Due to a generally felt lack of daylight because of climatic conditions the development was mainly concentrated in Central Europe, Japan, the United States and Australia.
This paper describes the energy performance of an underground thermal energy storage system that consists of high efficiency heat pump and Borehole- Heat-Exchangers (BHE).
This paper presents the results from the experimental and numerical study of a room with mixing ventilation, focused on the local mean age of air (LMA). The measurements were performed using the tracer gas concentration decay method.
Appying simplified simulation tools and techniques to the design of new commercial buildings | 2001 | English
Despite the potential benefits of improved energy efficiency and enhanced comfort for eventual occupants, most architects and engineers resist using computer simulation methods in the design of new buildings.
Complex building performance analysis in early stages of design: a solution based on differential modeling, homology-based mapping, and generative design agents | 2001 | English
Computational performance-based building design support faces a conflict. It is important to provide building performance feed back to the designer as early as possible in the design process.
Development of a test reference year on limited data base for simulations on passive heating and cooling in Chile | 2001 | English
The application of building simulation for the thermal improvement of buildings in developing countries is limited by the scarcity of hourly climate data and test reference years.
This paper gives an overview about the use of building simulation in Switzerland. It focuses 4 different areas:
Due to in adequate architectural standards and bad building design, one can frequently find school buildings with very bad performance regarding energy efficiency.
There is a need for Dutch design support tools for building services that can be used in early design stages. TNO Building and Construction Research has therefore initiated the research project described here.
The paper describes the main features of the new simulation environment ColSim [15] and a special application for investigating ventilation strategies in buildings.
Development and quality improvement of HVAC control systems in virtual laboratories | 2001 | English
The control industry integrates more and more recent innovations, especially on the sector of communication networks (bus), control (fuzzy logic, neural networks…) and informatic (hard-and software) for the development of Building Management
BSPRO COM-SERVER: interoperability between software tools using industry foundation classes | 2001 | English
The continuing development of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) creates new possibilities for achieving interoperability for design software through the use of a common object m
Daylight illuminance is one of the most important element which comprises the luminous environment by daylight both in interior and at outdoor of building. Daylight is taken into interior mainly through the window.
The software DOMUS has been developed to model coupled heat and moisture transfer in multi-zone buildings.
