In this paper, we give an overview of an on-going research work aiming at assessing the benefits that could be drawn from applying advanced software engineering techniques – namely model-driven architecture, component-based approaches and model-ba

This article shows the combination of a thermal-airflow simulation program with an energy systems analysis model in order to assess the use of natural ventilation as a method for saving energy within residential buildings in large-scale scenarios.
Ivan Oropeza-Perez, Poul Alberg Østergaard, Arne Remmen
Indoor air quality and thermal comfort of the passive school buildings should be particularly paid more attentions due to those new passive school buildings adopted highly airtight building envelopes.
Yang Wang, Jens Kuckelkorn, Fu-Yun Zhao,Hartmut Spliethoff
This paper deals with typical residential buildings constructed according to the national energy-efficiency standard in China’s severe cold region.
Zhao Jianing, Wen Xin
Corporate tenants require ever-greater design certainty with respect to all aspects of proposed developments.
Matthew Webb
This paper depicts a formulation of the global home electricity management problem, which consists in ad-justing the electric energy consumption to the cost and availability variations of the power supply.
Minh Hoang Le, Stephane Ploix, Frederic Wurtz
Residential buildings consume about a third of the UKs total energy and the need to reduce this as part of achieving the 2050 CO2 emissions targets driving the interest the modelling and performance simulation of homes.
R. A. Buswell, D. Marini, L. H. Webb, M. Thomson
In this article, the main research goal is to present a model for rapid assessment of specific heating energy consumption of residential buildings.
Tiberiu Catalina, Florin Iordache, Vlad Iordache
This paper presents the first step modelling process of a smart building  in order to ensure better energy management and human comfort in buildings.
Hoang-Anh Dang, Sana Gaaloul, Benoit Delinchant, Frederic Wurtz
Increasing concern about building sector energy consumption and the simultaneous need for an acceptable thermal environment makes it necessary to estimate in advance what effect different thermal factors will have on occupants.

To study the impact variations in input on output vari-ation (Sobol index) of building model, a stochastic model (time series) of variables is introduced.
Mathilde Grandjacques, Benoit Delinchant, Olivier Adrot, Clementine Prieur, and Celine Helbert
For the purpose of revitalizing traditional architecture, we considered the characteristics of a traditional architecture cluster with regard to cross ventilation, and from an environmental engineering point of view, we proposed techniques to impr
