Modelling a reversible ventilated window for simulation within Esp-r the solvent case | 2003 | English
The barriers to simulation deployment in design practice are well documented.
Prediction of the effect of breaking window in a double skin façade as a result of fire | 2003 | English
It is necessary for fire safety that in case of a flash-over situation, the windows in the outer skin would break very fast and before the windows in the inner façade would break, so that the model of Law is valid in which case the NEN 6068 could
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems.
Hourly energy simulation was used in combination with a life cycle assessment framework to model the environmental effects of energy consumption in buildings.
Scythe and sew: a tool for creating and analysing meaningful patterns of lighting simulation data | 2003 | English
This paper presents "Scythe and Sew", a software environment for analyzing lighting simulation data. It provides a spreadsheet like infrastructure for manipulating high-dimensional simulation results.
Testing the energy simulation building model of Consoclim using bestest method and experimental data | 2003 | English
Consoclim is a building energy simulation software package which aims to simplify the input data. The building is modelled by only one capacity and five resistances.
The performances of air conditioning equipments, like heat pumps, chillers or air conditioners, derive not only from the operative thermal levels, but also from the building requirement trend which normally involves frequent reductions of t
The evaluation of shading devices is generally carried out using a sequence of shadow pattern images showing the progression of solar penetration for particular times of the day or year.
Numerical simulation of buildings thermal behavior and human thermal comfort multi-node models | 2003 | English
In this work two numerical models are presented. The first one simulates the buildings thermal response and evaluates the internal air quality, while the second one simulates the human and clothing thermal systems and calculates the thermal comfor
This paper presents a simulation study employed for the optimization of the building envelope for a new university building located in Montreal (latitude 450N).
The validation and development of turbulence models are still important issues related to Computa- tional Fluid Dynamics for ventilation purposes. The present work continues the work initiated by (Voigt, 2002).
Experimental studies in building energy usage and environmental analysis are very time consuming and expensive, and require sophisticated sensors and instrumentation techniques.
This article presents a one-dimensional model of spray vaporization that can be easily used in thermal performance simulations of buildings.
The lightswich wizard: reliable daylight simulations for initial design investigation | 2003 | English
A web-based, non-expert daylighting analysis tool has been developed to support daylighting-related design decisions in peripheral private offices during an early design stage.
Present international standard for thermal comfort such as ASHRAE Standard 55 and ISO 7730 were developed to serve as a guideline for moderate thermal environments e.g. mechanically air- conditioned spaces [CEN ISO 1995].
Simulation and evaluation of markets for building cooling heating and power applications in the U.S. | 2003 | English
A two-level analysis was used to study the economic potential of implementing Building Cooling, Heating and Power (BCHP) technologies in the U.S.
Procedures for calculation of NOx emissions reduction from implementation of the 2000 IECC/IRC conservation code in Texas | 2003 | English
Four areas in Texas have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because ozone levels exceed the NAAQS1 maximum allowable limits.
Since buildings have a predominant impact on the global climate change and other environmental issues, it has become necessary to consider environmental performance in building design.
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by urban structures.
