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.
Modelling and simulation of physical ambient factors: noise and wind in tropical climate - contribution to optimized urban forms | 2003 | English
In tropical humid climate, thermal environment can be controlled using natural ventilation.
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.
The international building physics toolbox (IBPT) is a software library specially constructed for HAM system analysis in building physics.
Optimization of airflow regimes, energy efficiency and air quality in surgical operation theatres | 2003 | English
The present paper addresses and fosters the factors that affect airflow movement and energy efficiencies in the surgical operating theatres.
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by urban structures.
Modelling a reversible ventilated window for simulation within Esp-r the solvent case | 2003 | English
Whole building simulation may play a key role in the optimization and assessment of the market potential of new building components.
A computer-model is used to simulate the evacuation of the occupants in a building.
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
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
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.
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems.
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.
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 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.
The Design Analysis Integration (DAI)-Initiative aims to steer towards new solutions for design analysis integration.
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
Air infiltration through revolving doors may have significant impact on the heating load of commercial and institutional spaces, and may create discomfort to people. This paper modifies a 40-year old model by Schutrum et al.
