The application of computer simulation techniques to the design and preservation of a national monument | 1999 | English
The paper outlines a two-year research program where Radiance was used in the conversion of Empress Place, a national monument in Singapore, into an Asian Civilisation Museum.
Thermal storage with concrete slab of pressurized plenum in underfloor air distribution system | 1999 | English
In calculating the heat flows around the floor plenum of underfloor air distribution system, the convective heat transfer coefficient is an influential factor, but it is not clearly known which value should be taken.
The simulation of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation on the hydrid electricity supply system of a building | 1999 | English
Solar energy and wind energy are one of renewable energies, and they are inexhaustible energy source which are available anywhere.
The analysis of the convenctive-conductive heat transfer in the building constructions | 1999 | English
The numerical model for the analysis of the combined convective-conductive heat transfer in the building components has been developed.
Thermal enviroment of the house with a moisture-absorbent typt dehumidifier in summer | 1999 | English
If an insulated and airtight house is cooled by passive ventilation using buoyant convection, the indoor air temperature can be kept lower than the outdoor air temperature, but there is a tendency for the indoor humidity to remain at a high level.
The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
Simulation of daylight performance of buildings by the daylight source model based on geostational meteorological satellite images | 1999 | English

Numerical analysis of annual exergy consumption for daylighting, electric-ligthing, and space heating/cooling system | 1999 | English
The purpose of this study is to show explicitly a series of exergy input, output, and consumption for daylighting, electric-lighting, and space heating/cooling system and hence to reveal how daylighting system consumes solar exergy and how electri
RARX algorithm based model development and application to real time data for on-line fault detection in Vav Ahu Units | 1999 | English
Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.
Internal melt ice-on-coil tank with built-in horizontal tubes is a kind of ice tank used widely. Its discharge process is effected greatly by density different between ice and water.
A reduction in the emissions arising from urban activities demands a combination of energy efficiency measures and a move away from fossil fuel sources.
The purpose of this study is to develop the technique that mixing energy loss is predicted at the time of the air conditioning system design by the simulation.
This paper presents a mathematical model yielding a simplified representation of the thermal behaviors of ivy-covered walls. The model is integrated with a CFD program to implement simulation.
In the present work, human thermal comfort is investigated within the built environment. The analysis is based on two building thermal simulation models.
