A method for revising temperature and humidity prediction using additional observations and weather forecasts | 2007 | English
Weather prediction is considered to be essential for the predictive control of HVAC systems in which dynamic components, such as a thermal storage tank or heavy building envelope, exist.
Potential of buried pipes systems and derived techniques for passive cooling of buildings in Brazilian climates | 2007 | English
Objective of this study is to evaluate the cooling potential of buried pipes and a derivative thereof, for buildings situated in Brazilian climate.
Building design for hot and humid climates – implications on thermal comfort and energy efficiency | 2007 | English
The paper discusses the concept of an adaptive thermal comfort design methodology and its impact on the selection, design and performance of climate control systems for large public spaces with transient occupancy in hot and humid climates.
Given the major role played by windows with regard to energy losses and gains from buildings in respectively cold and hot climates, accurate prediction of the heat transfer through its glazing materials is of great importance in building energy si
It is well known that humidity influences cooling load, thermal comfort and durability of buildings and various items in them. Many works on prediction of humidity variation in a room have regarded the humidity as unique in a space.
A study on thermal performance of heat storage system connected with heat pump for residential houses | 2007 | English
In this paper, we present a heating system with thermal storage using a heat pump which supplies heat to the thermal storage equipment installed in the crawl space of residential house insulated at the foundation walls.
The effect of window position and window size on the energy demand for heating, cooling and electric lighting | 2007 | English
The amount of sunlight and daylight through the façade is a key factor in new façade design. Designing a new façade, based on the idea that a façade should be able to function and perform mostly autonomously (i.e.
In summer, the shady planting is expected for providing shadow on building envelope and reducing reflected solar radiation from the front yard.
This paper reports a study of a unique system that integrates many renewable energy resources to achieve zero CO2 emission for building services for the head office of a company specialised in renewable energies.
Sensitivity studies on elements of meteorological data for building energy simulation in China | 2007 | English
As well known, Hourly weather data should be available before running building energy consumption simulation.A large number of Chinese locations have only six-hourly or daily measured weather data, because observed data are not easily obtained or
