Hygrothermal simulation of drying performance of typical north american building envelope | 2005 | English
Measurement of the thermal environment in urban canyons and prediction by CFD simulation | 2005 | English
We analyzed the thermal environment within Kyoto city using a numerical model that considers three elements: the unsteady-state heat conduction of building walls and ground surfaces, radiation heat exchange between walls and ground surfaces, and a
Active diffusing light pipes (such as hollow tubular lighting) are means of directing and diffusion light (daylight or electrical light) into interior spaces. The two principal objectives of this paper are : 1) to show the development of an advanc
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has evolved from an academic tool to an important commercial design tool over the past decades.
Burn Intensive Care Units (ICU) have among the most stringent design criteria for patient rooms in hospital design.
A mathematical model applied to building hygrothermal behavior analysis is described in this paper. We have used a lumped approach to model the room air temperature and humidity and a multilayer model in finite volumes for the building envelope.
This paper deals specifically with analysis of the thermal, airflow and daylighting performance of the façade elements and in particular with the Double Skin Façade (DSF) applied to the south and southeast facing office spine of a laboratory build
In this paper, microscopic and macroscopic flow analyses have been employed to identify and analyze the causes of discrepancies of power law zonal models.
This paper investigates airflow in an office room with a displacement ventilation system parametrically using three-dimensional CFD.
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.
Energy efficiency and thermal comfort analysis using the powerdomus hygrothermal simulation tool | 2005 | English
The building simulation tool Domus has been recently renamed as PowerDomus for whole-building hygrothermal and energy simulation.
Building performance simulation tools have significantly improved in quality and depth of analysis capability over the past thirty-five years.
Modeling of the double-skin facades for building energysimulations: radiative and convective heat transfer | 2005 | English
A comprehensive modeling of radiative and convective heat transfer of a compact double-skin facade equipped with venetian blind is proposed here.
Exergoeconomic modeling of geothermal district heating systems for building applications | 2005 | English
Geothermal district heating systems (GDHSs) are modeled by examining the relations between thermodynamic losses and capital costs for the devices comprising the GDHSs, and some possible generalizations are proposed relating thermodynamic losses an
Stand-alone software for predicting contaminant transport and behaviour is well developed, but to be more effective, it needs to be integrated within whole building simulation.
