The paper is discussing problems of modelling of those elements in low-energy building design process.
Karel Kabele,Michal Kabrhel
External  shading  devices  have  been  utilized  very extensively in residential buildings in the tropics to reduce the amount of solar radiation entering into the buildings.
Wong Nyuk Hien, Agustinus Djoko Istiadji
A holistic approach to the design and procurement of a project should result in a building, which can become uniquely embedded in its natural, social and economic environments, like a living system. In a strange way my African experience has lead

The  combined  MatLab  toolboxes  FemLab  and Simulink are evaluated as solvers for problems based on partial differential equations (PDEs).
A.W.M. (Jos) van Schijndel
We present a method, a model and a simple design tool for evaluating the construction, investment and energy costs of different possible design alternatives for grouping apartment units into a multifamily residential building.
Guedi Capeluto, Abraham Yezioro, Daniel Gat and Edna Shaviv
This  paper  presents  a  simulation  of  a  hybrid ground source heat pump system, performed using a new graphical user interface for HVACSIM+.

SEMPER, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), is an active, multi-domain, space-based, object-oriented design support tool for integrated building performance computing.
K.P.Lam, N.H.Wong, A.Mahdavi, Z.J.Kang, K.K.Chan, S.Gupta, A.Ranjith
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.
Wim Maassen, Ellie de Groot and Maarten Hoenen
The EnergyPlus building energy simulation software has been tested using the IEA HVAC BESTEST E100-E200 series of tests.
Robert H. Henninger, Michael J. Witte, Drury B. Crawley
This  article  introduces  the  modelling  of  the  split system (room air conditioner) with a continuous action controller for a building energy simulation. This model shows a way to calculate the energy consumption, the sensible and latent cooli

The balance between the energy efficient thermal comfort and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in healthcare facilities is the main aim of this paper. The present paper will present this balance from the viewpoint of the air conditioning design.
Ramiz Kameel, Essam E. Khalil
In   the   summer   of   2002,   measurements   were simultaneously performed to investigate the characteristics of heat flow in urban areas at three locations in Kyoto city: 1) a commercial urban area mixed with low-rise traditional residential b

An optimization module is developed and incorporated within EnergyPlus. As an application of the optimization module, improved controls are determined for building passive thermal energy storage inventory.
G. Zhou, P. Ihm, M. Krarti, S. Liu and G.P. Henze
In the context of a european project dealing with the issue of transport safety improvement in fog conditions, an experimental building has been constructed on the FUL campus, in the southern part of Belgium.
Philippe Andre, Nick Kelly, Jean-Jacques Boreux, Patrick Lacote, Christophe Adam
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the process of heating a room with a low-temperature radiant heating system and solar energy, considering energy conversion and heat transfer steps in the building (where heat is required), in the

Interoperable software makes it possible to seamlessly exchange data among different compliant applications.
Vladimir Bazjanac
We define building systems as systems that not only consist of the load bearing building structure and its environment, the service systems (installations), and the control systems, but also include building usage and users.
Gerhard Zimmermann
This   study   investigates   the   energy   exchanges occurring in the volume and on the surface of water ponds and their influence on energy consumption of building.
Mirela Robitu, Christian Inard, Marjorie Musy, Dominique Groleau
This paper explores the integration of an algorithm for the simulation of ground-source heat pump systems into a whole-building energy analysis program. GS2000™ is a software program released in 1995 for the sizing of ground source heat pump groun
Julia Purdy, Andrew Morrison
This paper describes the results of a German research project, where a CAAD-program (Computer Architectural Aided Design) was integrated with two energetic building simulation programs to a software package for calculating and optimising the energ
