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.
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.
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.
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has recently become the W3C Standard for commu nicating data over the Internet.
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.
This work presents the program SIMEDIF, a code conceived for the design and simulation of the thermal transient behavior of buildings, entirely developed at INENCO.
This work wants to provide the planners with a database of the typical mediterranean building structures.
Advanced building services simulation software providing design solutions in Dublin and Boston | 2001 | English
The paper uses the latest state of the art dynamic simulation software to analyse and present design information for building design engineers on current design questions in both Dublin and Boston.
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.
