The evaluation and analysis of available simulation tools suggests a thorough research methodology for creating a new front-end interface that solves current usage problems.
Calibrated simulation of the degradation of a solar hotwater system performance over a 22-year period of operation | 2005 | English
This paper reports on the measured performance of a residential solar water heater system over a period of 22 years and the modeling of the system to simulate its degradation over that period.
Cooling load simulation considering actual variation ofinhabitants’ behavior for accurate estimation of urban maximum energy requirement | 2005 | English
A brand-new methodology for considerably accurate time-series cooling load calculation in a dwelling is established, motivated by the fact that dwelling energy requirements so significantly affect the so-called urban heat island.
Elements of a simulation-assisted daylight-responsive illumination systems control in buildings | 2005 | English
This paper presents a simulation-assisted daylightresponsive illumination control system.
Assessing sustainability strategies for institutional facilities using cbip screening tool | 2005 | English
Institutional facilities embody the physical infrastructure of the communities they house. Aging institutional buildings, especially those within extensive central campuses, cannot easily be disposed of or abandoned in favour of new facilities.
This paper is about the application of a local (radiant) bench heating system in a church.
Development of a building energy model for carbon reduction in the UK non-domestic stock | 2005 | English
The requirements for a scaleable energy model for the UK non-domestic building stock are described.. The non-domestic stock is much more heterogeneous than the domestic stock.
Buried pipe systems with sensible and latent heat exchange :validation of numerical simulation against analytical solution and long-term monitoring | 2005 | English
A finite differences numerical model for buried pipe systems is presented, accounting for sensible as well as for latent heat exchanges, so as for fully three dimensional heat diffusion in soil and flexible border conditions.
This paper deals with the use of computer simulations both for design support of a new building including its heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and for optimization of the HVAC control strategy during operation of the comple
This paper deals with the dynamical modelling of a solar evacuated tube collector under variable weather conditions. After describing the mathematical model, the paper presents elements of validation.
A prescription method for the design of office buildings an energetic – economic approach | 2005 | English
A new Energy Code for office buildings in Israel, currently under development, is presented.
Apolux - an innovative computer code for daylight design and analysis in architecture and urbanism | 2005 | English
APOLUX 1.0 is a computer code specifically developed for assisting the architect regarding daylighting considerations; it runs in a threedimensional graphic environment, accepts files from graphic editors and uses models physically consistent for
The impact of building regulations on the final form of a design can be quite significant.
Agent-based measuring, control and regulation techniques for hvac-system simulations | 2005 | English
In this paper we present an interactive software prototype for fluid flow problems in civil engineering including:
Matlab/Simulink is known in a large number of fields as a powerful and modern simulation tool. In the field of building and HVAC simulation its use is also increasing.
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) have been proposed to treat the outdoor air before it enters the building and thus reduce the load on the zone equipment.
The California Commercial End Use Survey (CEUS) project is being conducted for the California Energy Commission (CEC) by Itron, Inc. with support from KEMA-Xenergy, ADM Associates, and James J. Hirsch & Associates.
A step toward the global assessment of district projects:solar indicators and way to quantify them | 2005 | English
This paper deals with solar indicators and simulation as a step toward global assessment of a district.
A model-based method for the integration of naturalventilation in indoor climate systems operation | 2005 | English
This paper presents an in-situ calibrated model-based approach to treat natural ventilation as an integral element of the operation of the buildings' thermal systems.
