On solution characteristics of coupling of multizone and CFD programs in building air distribution simulation | 2005 | English
Multizone network models employ several assumptions, such as uniform pressure and quiescent air inside the zone, which may cause inaccurate results in flow calculations.
Development of archetypes of building characteristc slibraries for simplified energy use evaluation of houses | 2005 | English
For a quick and reliable energy evaluation of houses, one needs simple energy analysis software.
Building effectiveness communication ratios for improved building life cycle management | 2005 | English
Many existing building energy performance assessment frameworks, quantifying and categorising buildings post occupancy, offer limited feedback on design decisions.
Comparison of candidate materials for seasonal storage of solar heat through dynamic simulation of building and renewable energy system | 2005 | English
In a survey recently conducted by ECN and the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands [Visscher, Oonk et al, 2004]), several potential thermo chemical materials (TCM's) for seasonal storage of solar heat were determined.
Daylighting Simulation is a complex task, involving many parameters, but an important step to design buildings, especially when the main purpose is more comfort and energy conservation.
It is well recognised that validation of dynamic building simulation programs is a long-term complex task.
Past research of predictive optimal control of active and passive building thermal storage inventory has confirmed the importance of accuracy in the employed building model.
Development of a modular toolbox in simulink for dynamic simulations of VOC-concentration in indoor air | 2005 | English
Presence of volatile organic compounds in indoor air affects human health.
Assessing the total energy impact of occupant behavioural response to manual and automated lighting systems | 2005 | English
Behavioural models derived from on-going field studies can provide the basis for predicting personal action taken to adjust lighting levels or remedy direct glare in response to physical conditions. SHOCC, a sub-hourly occupancy-based control mode
Previous simulations predict the possibility of reducing cooling demands in office buildings in hot arid areas if a selective double skin facade is used. The reductions on cooling loads in rooms range between 19%-40% depending on the glazing therm
Computer simulation of evaporative cooling of buildings by water spray vaporization | 2005 | English
This paper presents the performance of a computer simulation code for modelling the evaporative cooling of buidings by water spray vaporization, bring together the scales of the droplet, spray and building.
This paper describes a case study to estimate the time and effort needed by novice designers to computationally evaluate the performance of building designs.
Calculation of the heating and cooling load of buildings using a sky radiance distribution model | 2005 | English
We present a model for calculating the sky radiation values considering the sky radiance distribution for a simulated building.
Application of EESLISM for the energy and environmental control system design in the example building is described.
The paper deals with two construction details and discusses the opportunities and limits of their computer aided building simulation. Both details occur in the area of building renovation and modernization.
Application of it and international standards to evaluate building envelope performance | 2005 | English
Improving thermal performance of building envelopes reduces energy consumption of residential buildings.
CFD simulation of interflat air flow for the study of the spread of aerosol transmitted infectious diseases | 2005 | English
In the world-wide scale outbreak of SARS in 2003, cluster of cases occurred in large building blocks, especially in Hong Kong.
The objective of this paper is to examine different means of producing domestic hot water (DHW) in Zero net energy homes (ZNEH).
Building simulation to predict the performances of natural night ventilation: uncertainty and sensitivity analysis | 2005 | English
Natural night ventilation is an energy efficient way to improve thermal summer comfort. Coupled thermal and ventilation simulation tools predict the performances.
