Air supply diffusers used in air-conditioning systems can be classified as ceiling diffusers, sidewall diffusers, floor diffusers, jet nozzles, and low velocity displacement diffusers.
H.T. Xu, and J.L. Niu
Two dissimilar models capable of predicting the electrical and thermal performance of residential cogeneration fuel cell systems have been developed for use with the ESP-r building simulation program.
Alex Ferguson, Ian Beausoleil-Morrison, V. Ismet Ugursal
When applying the radiant floor cooling system, it is important to prevent condensation on the floor surface. To solve this problem, a radiant floor cooling system integrated with the dehumidification system has been proposed and evaluated.
Jae-Han Lim, Myoung-Souk Yeo and Kwang-Woo Kim
This paper presents a methodology to analyse the thermal loads of non-residential buildings based on simplified weather data, which are available for 206 Brazilian locations.
Fenando Simon Westphal and Roberto Lamberts
This study discusses charging and discharging performance in building thermal mass storage systems. Building thermal mass storage systems utilize the thermal masses of the beams and the concrete floor slab to absorb cool energy that is produced us

Computer based modeling tools were used to examine the hygrothermal environment inside a heavy-masonry historic building experiencing crypto-efflorescence damage to its moisture-laden brick vault.
Sung H. Hong, Ian Ridley and Tadj Oreszczyn
We present a representational framework for the integrated operation of multiple environmental systems in buildings. A methodology for the automatic generation of this framework is introduced.
Kristie Bosko Mertz and Ardeshir Mahdavi
The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient use of energy in the retrofitting of social housing buildings. In this scope, one step was to develop
Kari Alanne, Krzysztof Klobut
The current work presents features of an air-underfloor heating system and CFD model to predict velocity and temperature distribution. The paper describes the constructions of air-underfloor heat exchangers.
Miroslaw Zukowski
The practical use of building simulation software requires a global and comprehensible interpretation of results for decision support in design.
Cristian Ghiaus, Francis Allard
