Predicting human geometry-related factors for detailed radiation analysis in indoor spaces | 2003 | English
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by urban structures.
Numerical simulation on the prevention effect of the cold draft along the window in wintertime | 2003 | English
This study is aimed to contribute to energy saving and to achieve the indoor thermal comfort by preventing the down draft along the window in building with less heating energy than the common equipment, e.g. FCU.
Room air conditioners: determination of empirical corelations for predicting building energy consumption | 2003 | English
Two room air conditioners were modeled in order to predict the total cooling capacity, the sensible cooling capacity and the Energy Efficiency Ratio (E.E.R.) of each appliance.
A computer-model is used to simulate the evacuation of the occupants in a building.
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
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
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.
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.
Estimating performance of thermal displacement hvac systems using heat balance-based simulation programs | 2003 | English
This paper will address the shortcomings of typical heat balance-based HVAC design and analysis software when applied to thermal displacement ventilation (TDV) system design.
Ice storage system (ISS): simulation of a typical HVAC primary plant equipped with an ice storage unit | 2003 | English
Within the framework of energy management in a tertiary building, it is necessary to evaluate the possibilities of cold energy storage.
The Loop Equation Design Method has been proposed for sizing ventilation airflow components of natural and hybrid ventilation systems.
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.
The design choice for any wall system must be integrated with some moisture engineering analysis.
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
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
Recent advances in mathematical models, computer processors and OOP compilers have been motivating the development of the Domus program for whole-building hygrothermal simulation.
