Design optimization of daylight roofing systems: roof monitors with glazing facing in two opposite directions | 2013 | English
This research focuses on design optimization of roof daylighting systems in office buildings. The optimization is based on computer simulation of daylighting and overall energy performance.
Parametric and algorithmic design tools have developed significantly in the last few years with the advent of several commercial and open-source applications and simulation software.
Optimizing the building form by simulation--a parametric design methodology study with integrated simulation at schematic phase | 2013 | English
Heat losses in collective heat distribution systems: comparing simplified calculation methods with dynamic simulations | 2013 | English
Heat losses in collective heat distribution systems can be reduced significantly in well-insulated and well-controlled low-temperature networks.
This paper describes the California Simulation Engine (CSE), a public domain, multi-zone, short-time step, detailed annual building simulation application developed to support the 2013 California Title 24 residential energy standards.
Energy performance of earth-air heat exchanger: impact of various input parameters on simulation results | 2013 | English
Earth-air heat exchangers can be considered as one of the current responses to the problem of rational use of energy and comfort in buildings.
LADYBUG: A parametric environmental plugin for grasshopper to help designers create an environmentally-conscious design | 2013 | English
As high performance design is becoming more desirable in the field of architecture, the need for supporting architects with environmental analysis tools is also growing.
Creating simulation and analyzing systems of the amount of solar energy that received at residential buildings (case study: residential complex of Karaj Mehrshahr) | 2013 | English
The quality of a residential complex is based on numerous factors such as their access, privacy, legibility, appearance.
This paper deals with the energy man-agement problem of a railway station. This problem comes out from the VEGEP project whose goal is to prove the benefit of an energy manager in railway sta-tions.
Design of nearly zero energy buildings coupled with an earth to air heat exchanger in Mediterranean climate: Development of an analytic model and validation against a monitored case study | 2013 | English
At the Passivhaus of Cherasco, located in Pianura Padana (Italy), an earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE) and natural night ventilation (in summer) are used to deliver comfort conditions with very low energy consumption.
Dynamic simulation of an earth-to-air heat exchanger connected to a villa type house in Marrakech | 2013 | English
Usage patterns of scripting interfaces for building performance assessment at early design stage | 2013 | English
The paper documents an ongoing study in the use of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) as a source of feedback in the early stages of architectural design.
Building classification based on simulated annual results: towards realistic building performance expectations | 2013 | English
This study reviews typical assumptions for days of operation, sub-space type receptacle and other unregulated process loads, and occupancy rates to propose a risk evaluation for energy simulation accuracy of office buildings.
A BIM based data model for an integrated building energy information management in the design and operational stages | 2013 | English
In this article, an under-floor air distribution system is analyzed. The inlet device is placed near a thermal manikin and several turbulence intensities are imposed. Sensitive parts of the body are exposed to the airflow.
The majority of the natural lighting, in urban slums and rural areas arround the world, is blocked off and virtually no light reaches the building spaces in lower floors as well as the streets and urban spaces.
Simulation to support ISO 50001 energy management systems and fault detection and diagnosis: case study of Malpensa airport | 2013 | English
This paper describes the use of building performance simulation into a wider implementation of an energy management system (EnMS) based on ISO 50001 requirements.
