Investigation of new concepts of ground heat exchangers and building integrated heat exchangers for passive houses by means of dynamic building and system simulation | 2013 | English
Are 3D heat transfer formulations with short time step and sun patch evolution necessary for building simulation? | 2013 | English
A numerical model is developed to accurately simulate the transient thermal behaviour of rooms with sun-facing windows, with the use of a refined spatial and temporal discretization.
EC-CO-GEN: An evolutionary simulation assisted design tool for energy rating of buildings in early design stage to optimize the building form | 2013 | English
This paper presents a comprehensive approach about energy resources management in buildings connected to the electricity grid and equipped with energy production and storage systems.
Analysis of the effectiveness of a simulation model for predicting the performance of a tankless water heater retrofit | 2013 | English
Zero energy house design for Cyprus: enhancing energy efficiency with vernacular techniques | 2013 | English
Accurate simulation of metered electricity usage of a LEED certified cancer institute | 2013 | English
The capacity of intermittent power sources like wind and PV is steadily increasing. The existing balance between production and consumption is seriously affected by these new sources.
The use of simulation software for building performance assessment in existing commercial buildings with heritage values | 2013 | English
The reliable assessment of the annual energy demand has become necessary in view of building energy performance certification.
Integrated model supporting environmental performance simulations in the early stages of building design | 2013 | English
Recent researches propose the integration of performance analysis to early stages of the design process in order to obtain the building´s best final performance (Kolarevric; Malkawi, 2005; Holzer, 2010; Oxman, 2007).
Assessment of natural ventilation potential for summer comfort in buildings on Mediterranean coastal zones | 2013 | English
Natural ventilation in building is a common way to ensure indoor air quality, thermal comfort in summer and reduce energy consumption due to air conditioning.
Low energy communities: the automatic sizing of hybrid renewable energy schemes and the generation of a simulation input model for performance appraisal | 2013 | English
Integrated building performance simulation (IBPS) provides an appropriate means to appraise the performance of low energy communities featuring cooperating technologies for demand management and low carbon heat/power delivery.
Using dynamic simulation for demonstrating the impact of energy consumption by retrofit and behavioural change | 2013 | English
In this paper, dynamic simulation software (in this case, DesignBuilder) has been used to model and to simulate a typical 1960s UK social housing in order to examine the impact of retrofit, occupant behaviour and user lifestyle on energy pattern.
Using energy modelling for calculations of energy savings, payback and return on investment for a typical commercial office building with IBT systems | 2013 | English
This paper describes and focuses on the applications of a new range of smart building products, particularly Integrated Building Technology (IBT) systems, with the aim to demonstrate savings for improving energy efficiency and indoor environments
