Numerical analysis of heat and moisture transfer in historical ceramic masonry wall | 2009 | English
Building physics processes in some parts and elements of revitalized historical buildings play an important role in their future energy efficiency and maintenance.
This paper gives an onset to whole building hygrothermal modelling of the interaction between interior and exterior climates via building enclosures, which even takes into account wind-driven rain (WDR).
Application of externally-coupled BES-CFD in HAM engineering of the indoor environment | 2009 | English
The high importance of indoor environment performance aspects such as surface condensation, mold growth, thermal comfort, etc., is widely recognized.
This paper discusses a procedure for the two-way run time external coupling between Building Energy Simulation (BES) and building envelope Heat, Air and Moisture (HAM) programs for enhanced whole building simulation.
The effectiveness of introducing effective energy savings measures for households in Japan’s residential sector | 2009 | English
A simulation model was developed for energy consumption in Japan’s residential sector. This model classifies households into 912 categories by household type, building type, and house insulation level.
On predicting the magnitude and temporal variation of cooling loads in detached residential buildings | 2009 | English
The rapid growth in residential air conditioning (cooling) in many parts of the world is resulting in increased energy consumption, significantly affecting central electricity systems, and having adverse environmental consequences.
Study on simulation modelling strategy for predicting thermal energy demand profiles of residential complex | 2009 | English
In a metropolis such as Seoul, which has a large population in a dense, built-up area, district heating/cooling systems are popular in terms of energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
Impact of window design variants on lighting and cooling loads: clues for revisiting local building regulations | 2009 | English
The study is placed within the context of local building regulations in India.
Practical method to model trees for daylighting simulation using hemispherical photography | 2009 | English
The ability to simulate the effect of trees on natural light performance in buildings is contingent upon accurate simulation of light passing through the canopy.
Computational simulations for predicting vertical daylight levels in atrium buildings | 2009 | English
This paper investigates the impact of well geometry and surface reflectance on vertical daylight levels in atria with square forms under a CIE standard overcast sky.
Applications of image based rendering in lighting simulation: development and evaluation of image based sky models | 2009 | English
This paper demonstrates the use of High Dynamic Range (HDR) fisheye images of the sky dome in lighting simulations. The objective is to improve the accuracy of simulations with site specific sky conditions.
This paper reports the simulation approach and prediction of annual energy performance of PV ventilated glazing systems with daylight saving as applying to typical office environment.
In recent years, highly glazed atriums are favorable to architectural aesthetics and to taking advantage of daylighting and solar heating.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide detailed information of flow motion, temperature distributions and species dispersion in buildings. However, it may take hours or days, even weeks to simulate airflow in a building by using CFD on a s
Advanced natural ventilation (ANV), often characterised by the use of dedicated ventilation stacks, shafts and other architecture features such as atria, light wells, has gained popularity for natural ventilation design in recent decades.
"O-Zone": automatic generator of zonal model dedicated to dynamic simulations of air flows and heat transfers in a room | 2009 | English
The aim of this paper is to present an automatic generator of zonal models that makes it possible to free the user from the choice of the specific flows models that have to be implemented in the zonal model and from the partitioning stage.
Survey of the existing approaches to assess and design natural ventilation and need for further developments | 2009 | English
In the last years many building designers have turned their attention to natural ventilation, due to the potential benefits in terms of energy consumption related to ventilation and air-conditioning, especially in mild and moderate climates.
