Model-based optimization of control strategies for low exergy space heating systems using an environmental heat source | 2013 | English
This paper focuses on the optimization of control strategies with regard to the end energy consumption and the thermal comfort of low-exergy systems for space heating in non-residential buildings.
Today’s thermostat setpoint models naïvely assume fixed schedules, ignoring the reality of user control and its large variability.
Simulation of natural ventilation in hospitals of semiarid climates for harmattan dust and mosquitoes: a conundrum | 2013 | English
Field test of a thermal active building system (tabs) in an office building in Denmark | 2013 | English
This paper investigates a new system for balancing the electrical grid by using dynamic simulation. It con-sists of a fuel cell that runs continuously to achieve high efficiency.
A TRNSYS model of a building HVAC system with GSHP and PCM thermal energy storage – component modelling and validation | 2013 | English
This paper describes the development of a simulation model using TRNSYS of a building integrated ground source heat pump with a cold phase change material thermal energy storage unit in a lightweight commer-cial building located in Marseille, Fran
Urban Energy Information Modelling: An interactive platform to communicate simulationbased high fidelity building energy analysis using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) | 2013 | English
Estimating the influence of outdoor convective heat transfer coefficient on thermal loads | 2013 | English
Analysis of chilled ceiling performance to control temperature in a data control center using EnergyPlus: a case study | 2013 | English
Context: The case study presented here was carried out to assist the designers in making a decision about the use of chilled ceiling panels coupled with an air handling unit in a data center with limited usable ceiling area.
The present contribution aims at a typical example of a low-energy house to repeat the known facts in environmental assessment of buildings, emphasize the need to use transient calculations of energy demand not only to optimize building envelope a
Generating global energy management strategies: application to the CANOPEA building | 2013 | English
In this paper, the energy management system that has been developed for the CANOPEA building is detailed. It is based on a virtual represen-tation of the building system including envelope, do-mestic appliances and technical appliances.
Climate change and rising energy costs necessitate a shift in how buildings that efficiently provide comfort are envisioned.
In this paper, the thermal behaviour of a ventilated window is studied. The particularity of this system is the existence of an airflow passing between the glasses of a triple glazing.
Integrating individual building models into carbon projections for large portfolios | 2013 | English
This paper examines the creation of a new simulation tool designed to integrate the results of energy consumption models into the carbon projections for large portfolios of buildings.
Towards whole building moisture modelling of the impacts of short duration moisture release | 2013 | English
Considerable progress has been made in the field of building simulation for combined heat, air and mass transfer processes occurring in the indoor environment, yet concerns persist over the reliability and suitability of moisture property data int
Sketch systemic optimal design integrating management strategy, thermal insulation, production and storage energy systems (thermal and electrical): application to an energypositive train station | 2013 | English
The aim of this paper is to develop a new concept of sketch tools for the very steps of the design process. The originality lies in the use of optimization to define a global design of the building, the energy system and the control strategy.
Thermal comfort analysis of a traditional iranian courtyard for the design of sustainable residential buildings | 2013 | English
Simulation modeling of ground source heat pump systems for the performance analysis of residential buildings | 2013 | English
Relation between school building configuration and heat mitigation effects of lawns in urban regions | 2013 | English
Results of this study show how heat mitigation effects of planting elementary school lawns in urban regions differ according to eight school building configurations and two surrounding building models. Results show the following.
