Modeling of Spanish household electrical consumption: Simplified and detailed stochastic approach in TRNSYS environment | 2013 | English
This paper focuses on the issue of integrating two or three dimensional models of heat and moisture transfer in porous materials with whole building HAM model-ing.
Building height and urban configuration effects on wind flow above a barrel vaulted roof | 2013 | English
Net-zero energy passive house and timber loam construction for healthy indoor climate: pilot project "Aktivhaus“- residential estate in Kramsach, Austria | 2013 | English
The project “Aktivhaus“-residential estate in Kramsach focuses on (1) energetic aspects and measures to reach the “net-zero-energy-building” and (2) avoidance of low indoor air humidity in winter by using the moisture buffer capacity of loam.
This paper presents dynamic sensitivity analysis as a novel design analysis tool for dealing with time-varying performance aspects in the built environment.
Mould growth damages due to moisture: comparing 1D and 2D heat and moisture models? | 2013 | English
An excessive level of moisture in building damages their quality. Key factors associated to the develop-ment of this damages mainly depend on the hygrother-mal fields inside building envelope.
Application of the air-conditioning system energy simulation for commissioning (ACSES/Cx) tool to HVAC system commissioning-Part 2: Application to the Substation of a Heat Source System with Bleed-in Control | 2013 | English
Simulation tools are effective for the commissioning of HVAC systems.
An optimization methodology to evaluate the effect size of incentives on energy-cost optimal curves | 2013 | English
This paper presents a methodology to measure the ef-fect of economic incentives on energy-cost optimal curves. A case-study using a net-zero energy home, located in Montréal, demonstrated the methodology.
This paper explores the thermal performance of the Global Earthship design. Earthship is an autonomous earth-sheltered home utilising passive solar principles.
Impact of heat transfer through floor slab on energy performance of buildings with UFAD systems | 2013 | English
Application of computational fluid dynamics differential model coupled with human thermal comfort integral model in ventilated indoor spaces | 2013 | English
In this study the coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) differential and human thermal comfort (HTC) integral numerical models is developed and used.
Whole building energy models have found widespread use in estimating the energy consumption of building sys-tems.
