Development and sizing of a multicriterion facade element throught different luminous, thermal and airflow tools | 2003 | English
Environmental design of buildings involves ‘finding the optimum’ solution satisfying predefined objective(s) (e.g., reduction in operating/capital cost, maximisation of daylighting etc.).
Comparison of simulated thermal loads of buildings erected at four different location in Cyprus | 2003 | English
Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its climate is characterised by abundant sunshine and by moderate to heavy winter conditions.
Conventional building control systems usually apply central control schemes that do not fully address individual occupancy differences in built environmental requirements.
A simple approach for calculation of the electrical yield from building integrated PV (photovoltaic) systems has been implemented in BSim2002 - a program package for thermal simulation of energy and indoor climate conditions in buildings.
There is a growing need for more complex control of ventilation systems to satisfy energy and environmental issues. SIMBAD Toolbox (SIMulator of Buildings And Devices), developed in the SIMULINK graphical environment is a library of HVAC component
This paper describes the development of a design tool for the calculation of the thermal energy potential of a so-called asphalt collector.
In the mid 1980s the monolithic nature of building energy simulation programs led to proposals for development of so-called "kernel systems," i.e., software environments that would make available to developers basic software modules and a supporti
Copious amounts of data are generated by contemporary building simulation (BS) programs and the translation of these data to information that may be acted upon is problematic.
This paper describes a simulation model for predicting end-use energy in residential sectors of a city or region.
The paper presents the advanced use of S-Functions, facilitated by the Matlab/SimuLink environment.
This paper deals with neural networks modelling of HVAC systems. In order to increase the neural networks performances, a method based on sensitivity analysis is applied.
Computer simulation of thermal impact of air infiltration through multilayered exterior walls | 2003 | English
Convective air circulation occurring through wall layers is frequently observed in building envelopes.
Design and testing of a control strategies for a large, naturally ventilated office building | 2003 | English
The design for the new Federal Building for San Francisco includes an office tower that is to be naturally ventilated.
Analysis of the typical meteorological year (TMY) of cyprus and house load simulation | 2003 | English
The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of the weather data contained in a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) and observe the effect of these data on the simulated load of a typical building.
This paper describes a new software application for analysing climate data. It is argued that the produced graphical charts can be useful concept stage design tools in their own right.
Development of base efficiencies in building environment simulation for building simulation 2003 conference | 2003 | English
A set of geometry translation tools and capabilities have been developed to increase base efficiencies in the simulation of both the internal and external environment of buildings.
This paper presents the concept of a tool adapted to zonal models and devoted to the simulation of thermal dynamic phenomena in buildings.
This paper summarizes a PhD project that is currently under completion at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Building Physics Group.
Defining the performance of the double skin façade with the use of simulation model | 2003 | English
The objective of this paper is to model the double skin façade in order to determine the thermal and flow performance and to find out how the façade should be combined with the HVAC system inside of the building.
