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.
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.
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
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.
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.
A module for ice-based thermal energy storage (TES) systems has been developed and integrated within EnergyPlus.
Energy efficiency in buildings: a parameter for the thermal qualication of opaque building envelope | 2003 | English
A new parameter e (0≤e≤1), called coefficient of performance, is introduced, whose value quantifies the suitability of the distribution of resistive and capacitive layers in a multi-layer wall, within problems concerning thermal building-pla
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.
This paper is about new features which where added to TRNSYS15 (Beckman, 2000) to improve its capabilities. For system simulations with TRNSYS15 now 6 new component libraries are available.
Method for simulated of the performance of air-conditioning systems serving interior building zones | 2003 | English
This article presents a simulation method for predicting the long-term energy performance of a central air-conditioning system serving interior zones of buildings with similar daily cooling load profiles.
DIAL-Europe is the final product of a three year European project that ended in March 2003.
The most dominant moisture-related problem in building materials is probably mold growth. It occurs as a result of relatively high moisture concentrations.
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.
