Whole building simulation may play a key role in the optimization and assessment of the market potential of new building components.
Vítor Leal, Eduardo Maldonado, Evyatar Erell and Yair Etzion
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
Erik den Tonkelaar
We consider a strictly three-dimensional modeling technique as a basis for numerical simulations. Applications range from
Christoph van Treeck, Richard Romberg, Ernst Rank
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.
Garry Palmer, Bernardo Vazquez, Graham Knapp, Nigel Wright
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems.
Cheol-Soo Park, Godfried Augenbroe, Nader Sadegh, Mate Thitisawat, Tahar Messadi
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.
Osbert Feng, Quy Nguyen, Daniel Glaser, John Canny, Ellen Yi-Luen Do
Skylights   can   offer   useful   benefits  in  reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants satisfaction.
A. Laouadi, A. Galasiu, M. Atif, A. Haqqani
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.
J. Mardaljevic
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America.
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison, Kamel Haddad
The hygrothermal behavior of a building component exposed to weather is an important aspect of the overall performance of a building.
Andreas Holm, Hartwig M. Kuenzel and Klaus Sedlbauer
Environmental  masterplanning  is  an  increasingly vibrant area of research and development activity.
D Robinson, S Stankovic, N Morel, F Deque, M Rylatt, K Kabele, E Manolakaki, J Nieminen
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.
Wim Plokker, Bert Elkuizen, Henk Peitsman
A   comfortable indoor climate environment is necessary for modern buildings and therefore the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems are widely used.
Bing Yu, Dolf H.C. van Paassen
The paper is discussing problems of modelling of those elements in low-energy building design process.
Karel Kabele,Michal Kabrhel
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.
Jin Won Choi and Jae Wan Park
In recent years major advances have been made in the development of computational tools for architects to facilitate building performance evaluation.
Eleni Primikiri, Michael Kokkolaras and Panos Y. Papalambros
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
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
Michael Pearce
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
