Heat flux measurement of urban boundary layers in kyoto city and its prediction by cfd simulation | 2003 | English
An optimization module is developed and incorporated within EnergyPlus. As an application of the optimization module, improved controls are determined for building passive thermal energy storage inventory.
Different approaches for the simulation of an experimental building hosting a climate chamber devoted to artificial fog production | 2003 | English
In the context of a european project dealing with the issue of transport safety improvement in fog conditions, an experimental building has been constructed on the FUL campus, in the southern part of Belgium.
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the process of heating a room with a low-temperature radiant heating system and solar energy, considering energy conversion and heat transfer steps in the building (where heat is required), in the
Interoperable software makes it possible to seamlessly exchange data among different compliant applications.
We define building systems as systems that not only consist of the load bearing building structure and its environment, the service systems (installations), and the control systems, but also include building usage and users.
Energy balance study of water ponds and its influence on building energy consuption | 2003 | English
