Room air conditioners: determination of empirical corelations for predicting building energy consumption | 2003 | English
A computer-model is used to simulate the evacuation of the occupants in a building.
Embedded generation has been described as a “paradigm shift” in the way in which electricity is produced, with the focus of power production shifting away from large centralised generation plants to production of heat and power close
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
The rapidly developing Internet broadband network offers new opportunities for deploying a range of energy, environment and health-related services for people in their homes and workplaces.
The aim of the presented work is to refine the ESP-r system by incorporating phase change materials (PCM) modelling. The behaviour of PCMs is modelled using ESP-r’s special materials facility.
Radiant heating and cooling, including building component embedded systems, have become a common heating and/or cooling technology in the recent few years.
Simspark: an object-oriented enviroment to predict cuoped heat and mass transfers in building | 2003 | English
The non-uniform behavior of the air inside a room, which is important in comfort analysis, can be evaluated by zonal models.
The Design Analysis Integration (DAI)-Initiative aims to steer towards new solutions for design analysis integration.
A study by Reinhart and Herkel showed term predictions of daylight availability in architectural spaces should take the conditions of all individual time steps into account.
Building energy simulation is playing an increasingly important role in building energy codes. This paper investigates the important underlying issues affecting the use of building energy simulation for enhancing building energy codes.
Condensation and mold problems have been identified as one of the severest IAQ problems in Japan.
The design choice for any wall system must be integrated with some moisture engineering analysis.
Energy simulation combined with indoor climate measurement as a basis for individual energy billing in multifamily houses | 2003 | English
The present paper describes the development of a method where simulations combined with measurement of parameters for each apartment such as temperatures and relative humidity in the exhaust air and electricity consumption, are used as a basis for
In this paper, we present a new simulation program, TEKLA, for estimating energy use of residential buildings according to the European standard, EN832. The simulation program is written in MATLAB 6.2.
Integration of control and building performance simulation software by run-time coupling | 2003 | English
This paper presents the background, approach and initial results of a project, which aims to achieve better integrated building and systems control modeling in building performance simulation by run- time coupling of distributed computer programs
Recent advances in mathematical models, computer processors and OOP compilers have been motivating the development of the Domus program for whole-building hygrothermal simulation.
Experience of using building simulation within the design process of an architectural practice | 2003 | English
This paper documents work that follows on from a previous study [Morbitzer et al 2001] on the implementation of a simulation-tool into an architectural practice at outline design stage.
Indoor air humidity variations and its effects on the moisture performance of building envelope | 2003 | English
With the current enhancements moisture engineering analysis of building envelope structures becomes a critical design element.
Energy efficiency in buildings: a parameter for the thermal qualication of opaque building envelope | 2003 | English
A new parameter e (0≤e≤1), called coefficient of performance, is introduced, whose value quantifies the suitability of the distribution of resistive and capacitive layers in a multi-layer wall, within problems concerning thermal building-pla
