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.
There is a strong demand for accurate moisture modelling since moisture poses a risk for both the constructions and the indoor climate. Thus, in this investigation there is special focus on moisture modelling.
Design standard of energy conservation for building hvac 1system – a simplified method of chiller capacity estimation 2based on building envelope energy conservation index in 3taiwan | 2005 | English
The research developed maximum chiller cooling capacity predicting equations with building shape factor and the ENVLOAD index which is now the building envelope energy conservation design control factor in Taiwan.
To have a proper energy management in buildings, it is necessary to evaluate its HVAC system. To properly compare operating strategies and solve possible problems, one needs to reproduce the building and its HVAC system behavior under real life co
This paper presents first steps of a methodology for calibration of building simulation models through definition of the parameters that most affect the main electric end-uses of a building.
This paper presents the results of a comparison between measurements of a co-heating test in a passive house and the simulated response of the building to the same outdoor conditions calculated with the building simulation program Trnsys. Special
An efficient urban energy system could be a highly diverse and well-integrated structure of buildings and systems.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An overview of an integrated building simulation tool -designer’s simulation toolkit (dest) | 2005 | English
In early 1980s, Tsinghua University has started to develop a new building simulation tool with the aims to benefit for teaching, research and practical use of HVAC related applications in China.
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.
A simple method to incorporate thermal bridge effectsinto dynamic heat load calculation programs | 2005 | English
The aim of this study is to develop a simple method to predict heat flows and minimum surface temperatures in dynamic heat load calculation programs.
An evaluation of the hygrothermal performance of‘standard’ and ‘as built’ construction details using steady state and transient modelling | 2005 | English
Accurate assessment of both surface and interstitial condensation risk at the design stage of buildings is of great importance - not just to minimise the damaging effects moisture can cause to building envelopes, but also to contribute to the prov
A method to verify calculation of transient heat conduction through multilayer building constructions | 2005 | English
Validation and verification of building simulation programs and load calculation programs is of continuing interest.
