The objective of this paper is to highlight the effectiveness of light shelves in tropical office buildings to enhance interior daylighting quality.
Ashikur Rahman Joarder, Zebun Nasreen Ahmed, Andrew Price and Monjur Mourshed
This article aims to discuss the results of the EnergyPlus daylighting module – Detailed.
Rejane Magiag Loura, Eleonora Sad de Assis, Roberta Vieira Gonçalves de Souza
The purpose of this paper is to find the efficiency of window shades regarding building energy performance and explore the possibility of developing a model that enables users to find proper shades for their specific conditions. The paper investig

The purpose of this study is to determine appropriate daylighting devices for office buildings in the city of New Delhi, India.
Neha Singhal, Tanmay Tathagat, Rajan Rawal
An analysis is presented of the impact of glazing selection on building performance and daylight levels for a small office building designed to be built in Canberra, Australia.
Peter Taylor, Hélène Duponchel, Paul Bannister
In the paper we describe an integrated building lighting and thermal simulation activities carried out in the support of EU PV-Light Project.
Milan Janak and Reinhard Kainberger
Blind systems have been introduced to provide visual and thermal comfort, as well as to reduce energy use in buildings.
Deuk-Woo Kim, Cheol-Soo Park
Shading device, window to wall ratio, window height, and glazing are important factors in determining building energy consumption in the tropics.
Floriberta Binarti
Overheating in buildings not only causes discomfort to the occupiers but – if it occurs regularly or over a sustained period – also leads to pressure for the installation of mechanical cooling.
Xiaoxin Wang, Chris Kendrick, Ray Ogden
Recent statistics published by Natural Resources Canada estimates that the energy demand for heating and cooling accounts for about 60% of the total energy use of an average Canadian home.
A.D. Galasiu, A. Laouadi, M.M. Armstong, M.C. Swinton, F. Szadkowski
A large variety of simulation environments exists for building and system simulation.
P. Riederer, W. Keilholz, V. Ducreux
In a recent building simulation project, the significant effort required to calculate and enter casual gains and air flow data into the ESP-r modelling software was found to impede progress and increase the risk of error.
Simon Taylor
This paper presents a simple tool (in the form of nomograms) for the preliminary design of solar gains of a window shaded with a horizontal overhang.
Dominik Włodarczyk, Henryk Nowak
Aiming to study the temperature field changes, the House VI project was checked. This house is located in Vila37, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a dead-end small street with only one inlet/outlet.
Patricia R C Drach
The dynamic building simulation software IDA Indoor Climate and Energy v.

In winter, when the external air temperature is below zero, there is a risk of damage to coils in a closed type cooling tower due to freezing of cooling water.
Mingjie Zheng, Song Pan
The presented paper reports on the application of a method for the numerical prediction of temperatures within and around structural passive cooling components.
Stamatis Zoras, Panagiotis Kosmopoulos, Danai Georgiadou and Vasilis Evagelopoulos
In building simulation tools differential equations are widely used to model physical phenomena of components such as walls, air and any kind of system component in the building.
Werner Paul Keilholz, Peter Riederer, Vanessa Ducreux
This paper deals with the evaluation of different simulation approaches to kitchen ventilation modelling. Multi-zone, CFD and zonal approach are discussed.
Giacomo Villi, Wilmer Pasut and Michele De Carli
