Climatic based consideration of double skin façade system: natural ventilation performance of a case study with double skin façade in Mediterranean climate | 2013 | English
Development of an ode model featuring a three level bleed control and an off-loading sequence for standing column wells | 2013 | English
A 2D axisymmetric ODE model that couples heat transfer and groundwater flow in and around a stand-ing column well system was developed by the means of a thermal resistance and capacity network.
Development and validation of a residential sector energy end-use prediction model to estimate residential energy consumption in Japan | 2013 | English
Global illumination simulation technique in developing guidelines to mitigate veiling reflection in indoor swimming pools | 2013 | English
Increasing daylight into indoor swimming pools creates a warm and sunny environment for swimmers and provides connections with the outdoor environment.
The urban complex with multi-function and multi-form has become an important architectural mode in the modern urban development process.
Development of a daylighting index for window energy labelling and rating system for residential buildings in Brazil | 2013 | English
Incorporation of run-time simulation-powered virtual sensors in building monitoring systems | 2013 | English
The present contribution describes an approach to implement simulation-powered virtual sensors in a building information framework. Measurements from physical sensors are used to calibrate simulation models.
Evaluation of mould growth risks in buildings with different hygric properties of interior finishing materials and indoor moisture control | 2013 | English
Experimentation and modelling of a small-scale adsorption cooling system in temperate climate | 2013 | English
This paper describes the results of monitoring cam-paigns of a solar driven adsorption air-conditioning system. The energy performance figures of the sys-tem are computed and the adsorption chiller is mod-elled also based on measurement.
A multiobjective and interactive genetic algorithm to optimize the building form in early design stages | 2013 | English
As simulation researchers in the field of performance-driven architecture, we mainly describe in this paper an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) especially developed for eco-performance and real-time creative design simulations, associated with
This paper reports on the development of a luminous efficacy model of global horizontal irradiance. The model is intended to be both simple and applicable to multiple locations.
By 2020 all new buildings within the European Union should reach nearly zero energy levels. Their energy needs should be significantly covered by renewable energy sources.
Growing interest towards carbon neutrality have led to the proliferation of carbon footprint calculators (both online and software) to aid building professionals in quantifying the carbon impact of buildings.
Impact of individual characteristics such as age, gender, BMI and fitness on human thermal sensation | 2013 | English
A study of the effect of weighting indices for the development of tmy used for building simulation | 2013 | English
This research pursues an experimental implementation of an analysis framework in conjunction with an optimization framework for building design. The frameworks tie authoring and analysis tools together under one umbrella.
