Indoor air humidity variations and its effects on the moisture performance of building envelope | 2003 | English
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.
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.
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.
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.
We present a method, a model and a simple design tool for evaluating the construction, investment and energy costs of different possible design alternatives for grouping apartment units into a multifamily residential building.
Hybrid ground source heat pump system simulation using visual modeling tool for HVACSIM+ | 2003 | English
This paper presents a simulation of a hybrid ground source heat pump system, performed using a new graphical user interface for HVACSIM+.
