Room air conditioners: determination of empirical corelations for predicting building energy consumption | 2003 | English
Hourly energy simulation was used in combination with a life cycle assessment framework to model the environmental effects of energy consumption in buildings.
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
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
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 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.
This paper presents a simulation study employed for the optimization of the building envelope for a new university building located in Montreal (latitude 450N).
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.
This article presents a one-dimensional model of spray vaporization that can be easily used in thermal performance simulations of buildings.
The design choice for any wall system must be integrated with some moisture engineering analysis.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
H.e.n.k. a software tool for the integrated design of buildings and installations in the early design stage | 2003 | English
A good tuning between building and installations plays a major role in achieving energy savings and a high quality of the indoor climate.
