Modelling a reversible ventilated window for simulation within Esp-r the solvent case | 2003 | English
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
We consider a strictly three-dimensional modeling technique as a basis for numerical simulations. Applications range from
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is increasingly being used to predict the effects of wind on buildings and on the people in and around them.
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems.
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.
Skyvision: a software tool to calculate the optical characteristics and daylighting performance of skylights | 2003 | English
Skylights can offer useful benefits in reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants satisfaction.
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.
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America.
The hygrothermal behavior of rooms: combining thermal building simulation and hygrothermal envelope calculation | 2003 | English
The hygrothermal behavior of a building component exposed to weather is an important aspect of the overall performance of a building.
Environmental masterplanning is an increasingly vibrant area of research and development activity.
New Dutch office buildings are built under strict energy efficient legislation and well equipped with insulation, condensing boilers, heat recovery systems, etc. Despite this, many buildings don’t perform as energy efficiently as expected.
A comfortable indoor climate environment is necessary for modern buildings and therefore the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems are widely used.
The paper is discussing problems of modelling of those elements in low-energy building design process.
This paper demonstrates an experience in the development of a design performance evaluation system that can frequently evaluate building design performance within the design process in a real-time manner.
In recent years major advances have been made in the development of computational tools for architects to facilitate building performance evaluation.
The combined MatLab toolboxes FemLab and Simulink are evaluated as solvers for problems based on partial differential equations (PDEs).
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.
First world building design using third world experiences and advanced technologies | 2003 | English
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
Internet-based multi-domain building performance simulation and seamless integration with cad for early design support | 2003 | English
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.
