The simulation of daylighting performance requires some knowledge about prevailing sky conditions, especially luminance.
Nancy Ruck, Geoffrey G. Roy, Graeme Reid
The RADIANCE lighting simulation system was used to evaluate the daylighting inside four major buildings being constructed and refitted in New Zealand.
Karl Frost, Mike Donn, Robert Amor
The Simulation Problem Analysis Research Kernel (SPARK) environment for simulation of nonlinear differential algebraic systems has been revised to improve modeling convenience, modeling flexibility, and solution efficiency.
W. F. Buhl, A. E. Erdem, F. C. Winkelmann
If the information generated through building simulations is to reach and influence building and design professionals it is necessary to present it in an accessible format.
Helen Bennetts, Susan Coldicultt
New object oriented simulation environments offer dramatically improved possibilities for simulation of coupled systems.
Per Sahlin, Axel Bring
There has been widespread concern over the high energy consumption and the often less-than-satisfactory environmental control performance of most air conditioning systems relying on conventional control schemes.
H. N. Lam
The most effective way of establishing confidence in the ability of a simulation tool to model a particular component or system is to compare the predictions with measured data.
P. Strachan
Assessments of the applicability of equipment or the benefits of conservation measures within a buildingsector are frequent done using energy simulations of prototypical buildings with average physical and operational characteristics.
Yu Joe Huang, James W. Hanford, Mike Piraino
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has recently released two new programs, LightCAD and LightPAD, to enhance the design and application of lighting in commercial buildings.
Karl F. Johnson, G. Kimball Hart, John Weidt
This paper presents the application of geometric modeling and various performance simulation tools in architectural design, highlighting their respective impact on the design decisions made in the process.
Ardeshir Mahdavi, Khee Poh Lam, Volker Hartkopf, Vivian Loftness
The first purpose of our work has been to allow-as far as heat transfer modes, airflow calculation and meteorological data reconstitution are concerned-the integration of diverse interchangeable physical models in a single software tool for profes

The prediction of the effects of moisture in buildings is now a well established part of the building design process.
Graham Galbraith, R. Craig Mclean
As a result of the progression of computing power and the increasing demandsfor detailed thermal performance assessment users are shifting from simplified design tools to comprehensive, dynamic thermal appraisal tools which are able to handle the

This study (*) has been developped in real site on gymnasium situated in the center of FRANCE which was experimented during two years. This building is equipped with two interconnected energy saving systems.
A. Trombe, L. Serres, A. Mavroulakis
After a brief review of the development of thermal design tools world-wide, those available in Australia are considered and four are selected for validation.
Q. T. Ahmad, S. V. Szokolay
This paper examines the application of simulation tools to daylighting and heating energy use in the context of what questions the designers wish to ask and what answers they seek.
Mike Donn, Robert Amor, Nigel Isaacs, John Hosking
The aim of this paper is to describe the work currently under way at CSTB in the frame of the project 'Intelligent Sitnulation Environments'.
Roger Pelletret, Souheil Suobra, Keilholz, Werner, Zakaria Belghali
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).
Kjell Kolsaker
Me design of a fuzzy rule-based controller for the mixing-box of an air-handling unit is used to demonstrate how data obtained by computer simulation can be used to generate the rules.
A. L. Dexter, M. E. Hawkins
This paper describes the modelling and the experimental validation under ALLAN.TM Simulation software³ of a dwelling subjected to actual indoor and outdoor conditions.
