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.
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).
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.
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 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.
A study on the accuracy of daylighting simulation pf heavily obstructed buildings in Hong Kong | 2001 | English
Hong Kong is the most densely populated city in the world. The Building Regulations of Hong Kong pre- scribe a minimum distance between buildings for light- ing and ventilation.
This paper presents the requirements of the building representation to supports the holistic performance assessment of building performance into a single application.
Application of quasi-steady-state thermodynamic model of conventional heating system with Takahashi control method | 2001 | English
An indirect control technique using a single-zone space model is presented.
A simulation analysis of the opening of entrance doors and winter airflow into the entrance hall of a high-rise office building | 2001 | English
This study aims to develop a simplified estimation method of the thermal design load and space radiant environment in order to achieve adequate and economical HVAC equipment sizing and confirmation of thermal comfort.
New calculation procedures for calculating conduction heat transfer for foundations are described. These procedures are first validated and then implemented within EnergyPlus source code (beta version 5.0).
Little work has been done on the closed loop response of refrigeration plant using the new chlorine-free refrigerants.
A proposal for an estimation method of thermal load and space radiant environment for HVAC system design development by applying DOE technique | 2001 | English
This study aims to develop a simplified estimation method of the thermal design load and space radiant environment in order to achieve adequate and economical HVAC equipment sizing and confirmation of thermal comfort.
A daylight simulation tool including transmitted direct and diffuse light: application to the evaluation of daylighting inside glazed intermediate spaces | 2001 | English
The paper describes new improvements in SOLENE, a set of numerical models for the simulation of natural light in both the urban morphologies and the indoor architectural spaces which is developed in our laboratory.
An object oriented multizone thermal building model based on the simulation environment smile | 2001 | English
Classical building simulators are typically based on global systems of differential equations that model the physical reality and are numerically solved at runtime. In this paper we propose a new approach.
The aim of this work is to present a computer application that was developed to be a user-friendly interface that simplifies the manipulation of weather data files.
