Assessing renovation interventions towards ''Energy plus'' buildings through parametric exploration--- the case of glazed buffer spaces | 2013 | English
Analysis and simulation of energy efficiency of commercial buildings envelope in central zone of the city of Pelotas | 2013 | English
Thermal bridging is a problem that arises from using a thermosyphon. It is used as a passive part of the building envelope in south facing walls. A solution is proposed and investigated in this paper.
Comparison of the cost and energy efficiency of energy saving measures in case of a Hungarian single family house | 2013 | English
Application of coupled simulation between BES-CFD for naturally ventilated residential buildings | 2013 | English
This paper presents a simple all-weather sky radiance model (diffuse component).
A multi-stage approach for building and HVAC model validation and its application to a Swiss office building | 2013 | English
In the Swiss research project OptiControl (www.opticontrol.ethz.ch), new predictive building control strategies are developed and applied to a fully occupied, well instrumented demonstrator building.
Passive façade solutions: trombe wall thermal performance and glazing daylighting performance for Guimarães - Portugal | 2013 | English
Recently façade systems have integrated passive solutions to reduce the energy consumption in buildings and improve their occupants’ comfort.
Adapting the design of a new sustainable hospital building against a warming climate | 2013 | English
Uncertainty quantification of solar diffuse irradiation on inclined surfaces for building energy simulation | 2013 | English
Traditional uncertainty quantification (UQ) in the design of energy efficient buildings is limited to the propagation of parameter uncertainties in model input variables.
Effect of ground thermal inertia on the energy balance of commercial low-rise buildings | 2013 | English
Reliability of dynamic simulation models for building energy in the context of low-energy buildings | 2013 | English
In the context of district energy systems, changes in a building’s heat demand also affect the energy efficiency of the whole district heating network.
Comparative study of the LEED AND ISO-CEN building energy performance rating methods | 2013 | English
The use of LEED as a building sustainability rating method is well established in the US. In this paper we concentrate on the calculation of the score in the Energy and Atmosphere category of LEED, i.e. the LEED-EAc1 score.
An approach to facilitating data exchange between BIM environments and a low energy design tool | 2013 | English
Theoretical study of cooling technologies driven by geothermal energy for use in tertiary buildings in Belgium | 2013 | English
We investigate the possibility of using geothermal hot water in heat-driven cooling systems, for air conditioning in tertiary buildings in Belgium.
