A new approach to inter-zonal adjacencies analysis for building energy simulation programs | 2009 | English
Simulation based predictive control of low-energy building systems using two-stage optimization | 2009 | English
Simulation based control schemes for a low-energy building system are introduced and compared in this paper.
Verification of optimum operation method by simulation for the HVAC system with a thermal storage tank in an actual building | 2009 | English
An optimum operation scheme was applied to the thermal storage system in an actual building and evaluated using measurement data. First, the accuracy of the load prediction was verified.
Retro-commissioning of a heat source system in a district heating and cooling system | 2009 | English
To improve the energy performance of a district heating and cooling (DHC) plant, the expected performance of the plant was studied using simulations based on mathematical models.
Simulation and BIM for building design, commissioning and operation: a comparison with the microelectronics industry | 2009 | English
Analogy between the Microelectronics and Building industries is explored with the focus on design, commissioning and operation processes.
This paper presents results of a study to investigate the thermal performance of two existing houses that use rammed earth as the sole wall material and compare it with the performance of a house using insulated rammed earth walls.
A recently completed extension to IEA BESTEST includes further work on tests suitable for the validation of ground coupled heat transfer modules within building energy simulation software. The model described here forms part of this work.
This paper compares daylight simulation results generated with two simulation programs, 3ds Max® Design 2009 and Daysim 3.0, to indoor illuminance measurements in a sidelit space.
Velux Daylight Visualizer 2 is a software tool dedicated to daylighting design and analysis.
Building simulation must be calibrated to fit the customer’s bill before applying energy saving measures.
Calibration of a computer model of a naturally-ventilated house located in southern Brazil | 2009 | English
The main objective of this article is to present the calibration process of a computer model of a naturally-ventilated house built in southern Brazil. The house was monitored over two seven-day periods by using Hobo data loggers.
Database and simulation model development for modelling the energy use of non-residential buildings | 2009 | English
This paper discusses modelling methodology of the energy use of a certain amount of building stock at the city/regional/national level.
The objective of this work is to present an inverse method solving the transient heat-transfer problem in walls aiming to estimate its thermal properties.
New energy efficient building concepts affecting human thermal comfort and sensation | 2009 | English
Energy-efficiency seems to be one key-driver for whole building and construction industry in the future. Therefore, new construction and building service concepts are obviously needed.
Information-theoretic environmental features selection for occupancy detection in open offices | 2009 | English
Knowing the presence or the actual number of occupants in a space at any given time is essential for the effec-tive management of various building operation functions such as security and environmental control (e.g., lighting, HVAC).
Occupancy detection through an extensive environmental sensor network in an open-plan office building | 2009 | English
Contemporary office buildings commonly experience changes in occupancy patterns and needs due to changes in business practice and personal churns.
Sensor-based occupancy behavioral pattern recognition for energy and comfort management in intelligent buildings | 2009 | English
There has been extensive research focusing on developing smart environments by integrating data mining techniques into environments that are equipped with sensors and actuators.
Development of a functionality generating simulations of commercial and institutional buildings having representative characteristics of a real estate stock in Québec (Canada) | 2009 | English
This article describes the development of a functionality generating simulations of commercial and institutional buildings with representative characteristics of a real estate stock in Québec.
Implementation of a Canadian residential energy end-use model for assessing new technology impacts | 2009 | English
This paper discusses the present status and implementation of a new energy model that is used for evaluating the impact of new technologies when they are applied to the Canadian housing stock (CHS).
The identification and analysis of regional building stock characteristics using map based data | 2009 | English
Building energy and Carbon emission calculation methods for regions are of limited use if appropriate input data cannot be economically generated.
