Exploration of heuristic rules in mass housing design space for minimised energy consumption and CO2 emission | 2013 | English
Validated CFD study of indoor environmental conditions in a highly glazed, cross-ventilated meeting room | 2013 | English
This paper investigates the environmental conditions inside a highly-glazed cross-ventilated meeting room.
Many attempts have been made to automatically convert architectural 3D models into thermal models for building performance simulation.
An approach to tree daylighting simulation using models based on solar control systems | 2013 | English
In oasis cities urban forest shades the lower level facades of buildings. It is thus crucial to analyze the distributional patterns of sun radiation produced by trees on facades.
Simulation of coupled heat, air and moisture transfers in an experimental house exposed to natural climate | 2013 | English
Detailed experimental studies of heat and moisture transfers in building envelope parts are important to gain knowledge about hygrothermal responses and to validate models.
Study on the influence on natural ventilation caused by different building densities | 2013 | English
Optimal Selection of Building Components Using Sequential Design via Statistical Surrogate Models | 2013 | English
Choosing the optimal combination of building compo-nents that minimize investment and operational costs is a topic of great importance in the building simulation com-munity.
A multi-energy modelling, simulation and optimization environment for urban energy infrastructure planning | 2013 | English
Developing a methodology of simulating tree shading on daylight performance in indoor spaces such as lux levels on a task plane is investigated.
Optimum integration of albedo, sub-roof R-value, and phase change material for cool roofs | 2013 | English
Cognitive response of occupants to indoor environmental information and its impact on simulation | 2013 | English
Optimizing the operations of a HVAC system in response to the dynamic loads and varying weather conditions throughout a year can result in substantial energy savings.
Experiments on inverse method to illumination by optimization technique - IMIbyOPTIM | 2013 | English
The present work reports an experimental procedure designed to verify a particular solution for the distri-bution of artificial light sources.
Is it reasonable to calculate the thermal peak load using acausal models and short time steps? | 2013 | English
Heating and cooling load estimation is based on the heat balance method. Although this method has strong physical basis, it yields an acausal system when the heat capacity of the indoor space is non-negligible.
Simplified design of a specular slat profile curve using 2D ray tracing and genetic algorithms | 2013 | English
This paper deals with the global model based antic-ipative energy management system adapted for the CANOPEA building prototype proposed by the team Rhˆone-Alpes for the Solar Decathlon Europe con-test.
