The numerical modelling of the diffusive-convective watervapour transport through the building constructions | 2005 | English
An 'active façade' responds to (and anticipates on) changing indoor and outdoor conditions.
An Excel macro-programming model of the thermal behaviour of open and enclosed swimming pools is run in seven different scenarios of increasing complexity.
The use of simulations to support the retrofitting of a dutch monastery,listed as a historic building and being re-used as an office building | 2005 | English
This paper describes the use of simulations to support the renovation process of a monastery, that is listed as an historic building and is being re-used as an office building.
The introduction of EU directives 2002/91/EC and 2003/87/EC both prompt a reduction in energy consumption from European buildings. Buildings account for 50% of European energy use.
The architects approach to the project of energy efficientoffice buildings in warm climate and the importance of designmethods | 2005 | English
This article aims at a better understanding of how decisions are taken to improve energy performance of office buildings in warm climates and why energy tools are not popular among the architects.
This paper describes how a multi-zone air flow simulation program has been used for the evaluation of the performance of a hybrid ventilation system in a Swedish school.
Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (ETAHE) technology has been implemented in many mechanical ventilation systems. A literature review revealed that recent advancements in ETAHE modeling were focused on simulating heat conduction in soil.
Simulation-based design procedure to evaluate hybrid renewableenergy systems for residential buildings in Korea | 2005 | English
Energy and environment issues such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and ecological-friendly buildings are increasingly of interest in the Korean housing market.
This paper covers the innovative use of advanced numerical simulation in the field of structural engineering.
This paper proposes a method for creating an extreme seven-day weather data set for HVAC design purposes and examines its suitability.
The Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme is a performance-based rating for office buildings.
Two solution methods of heat transfer with phase change within whole building dynamic simulation | 2005 | English
The aim of the presented work is to compare two solution methods of specific and latent heat transfer in building components e.g.
Simulation analysis of building humidity control and energy consumption for different system configurations | 2005 | English
In this paper, four different system configurations:
The present paper investigates, both experimentally and by simulation, the influence of faulty VAV units that do not affect the zone temperature on total energy consumption of a VAV system.
Influence of component selecting size method of hydronic networks on global costs and comfort | 2005 | English
Modelling and assessment of ground-source heat pump systemsusing exergoeconomic analysis for building applications | 2005 | English
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are modelled, analyzed based on exergy, cost, energy and mass, and evaluated exergoeconomically.
From computer models to simple design tools:solar rights in the design of urban streets | 2005 | English
This work presents a simple design tool for the consideration of solar rights in urban design that was developed by the use of the computer model SustArc (Capeluto and Shaviv, 1997).
Communications between buildings and their occupants through multimodal Human Computer Interactions (HCI) can dramatically enhance the way buildings are experienced.
Whereas water can frequently come in contact with wood-based building envelope components, little work has tried to measure and model moisture uptake in orthotropic wood.
