The simulation of temperature and pressure development in the ventilation systems of an offshore oil platform during the initial phase of afire has been carried out using the IDA solver (IDA 1991).
Tales of the unexpected: the use of building performance modelling for regulatory activity in Austrália | 1993 | English
This paper describes a number of issues which building modelling must take into account if it is! to he used as a tool in government policy making and regulatory frameworks.
Modelling and simulation of the thermal bahavior of a dwelling under ALLAN: accès à des logiciels en LAngage naturel or access to software in natural language | 1993 | English
This paper describes the modelling and the experimental validation under ALLAN.TM Simulation software³ of a dwelling subjected to actual indoor and outdoor conditions.
The theory of plumes adapted to model air movement in naturally ventilated buildings | 1993 | English
This paper describes ongoing research toward the development of simplified techniques for the prediction of air movement in large, naturally ventilated spaces containing hot and/or cold surfaces.
An overview of the principles used to develop productive interfaces is presented, and afresh approach to the design and use of Simulation Systems is suggested.
This paper addresses the development of a prototype system for energy building simulation by coupling commercially available CAD systems for architecture to numerical computational methods.
The conceptual theory and qualitative structure of a model for the evaluation of life safety in building fires is presented The model is based on a hierarchical framework, which is then overlain with an interactive network to represent the inter?r
The Energy Kernel System is an advanced machine environment intended to foster the collaborative development of the next generation of performance assessment programs.
In this paper we present computational experiments on the efficiency of partitioning of domains on the speed of simulation runs with an object-based solver.
From a structural perspective, the question is whether temperature changes during the lifetime of a building are sufficient to affect its integrity.
In this paper the availability of weather data in Australasia in terms of both hourly data for energy simulations and synthesized design day data for cooling and heating load estimation is discussed.
Simulation the daylight performance of fenestration systems and spaces of arbitrary complexity: the IDC method | 1993 | English
A new method to simulate the daylight performance of fenestration systems and spaces is presented.
This paper discusses the creation of standard weather data files covering the whole of New Zealand. As part of this process we describe the development of a method for selecting extreme weeks of data.
The heat conduction through the walls changes the heat load and its distribution in a room, and thus affects the air flow pattern in a buoyancy-controlled ventilated room.
A major case study of a high rise, city-centre of ce building in continental Europe was undertaken in a true commercial environment.
Thermal simulation programs for buildings have been available for many years.
In this paper we elaborate on a general representation for robots in building construction, to simulate the robots' capabilities to operate within different building projects and in cooperation with human labor crews.
The RADIANCE lighting simulation system was used to evaluate the daylighting inside four major buildings being constructed and refitted in New Zealand.
The simulation of daylighting performance requires some knowledge about prevailing sky conditions, especially luminance.
