Delight2 daylighting analysis in energy plus: integration and preliminary user results | 2005 | English
Energuide for houses database – an innovative approach to track residential energy evaluations and measure benefits | 2005 | English
The EnerGuide for Houses (EGH) database is a management information tool and central depository for tracking residential energy evaluations and measuring benefits from the energy evaluations delivered across Canada.
This paper presents a numerical model for the analysis of impact of building envelope porosity on energy.
The tendency to impose stricter building regulations in order to further decrease energy consumption contradicts the tendency to build more transparent architecture and apply thinner façade construction elements.
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.
A hygrothermal building model based on theobject-oriented modeling language modelica | 2005 | English
A new hygrothermal building model is being developed within the research project GENSIM by the Fraunhofer institutes FIRST and IBP. The model implementation takes place by using the objectoriented modeling language Modelica.
This paper explores the degree to which subjective assessments of the acoustical properties of a real space can be reproduced by assessments that are based on computational auralization.
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
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.
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.
