A method for analysis of controllability of duct systems designed for variable ventilation flow rates | 1999 | English
A study of the simulation of the visibility of baseballs flying in the dome stadium | 1999 | English
An evaluation system of the visibility of a ball flying is indispensable for the best architectural design and artificial lighting design of a baseball dome stadium, as it is essential to create a suitable visual environment for both players and s
A two-dimensional numerical simulation of airflow around bluff bodies is presented in this study. The two turbulence models, i.e., standard k-e model and RNG k-e model, are employed to predict the flowfield and wind effects on bluff bodies.
A nodal model for displacement ventilation and chilled ceiling systems in office spaces | 1999 | English
A nodal model has been developed to represent room heat transfer in displacement ventilation and chilled ceiling systems.
An analysis of the fresh air load reduction system by using underground double floor space for air conditioning | 1999 | English
This paper presents a feasibility study of a fresh air load reduction system by using an underground double floor space. The system was introduced into a real building (Aichi Children’s Center in Japan) and was examined by the field measurement.
A controller for HVAC systems with fault detection capabilities based on simulation models | 1999 | English
This paper describes a control scheme with fault detection capabilities suitable for application to HVAC systems.
A study of the of performance-based simulation tools for building design and evaluation in Singapore | 1999 | English
This paper provides an overview of the usage of performance-based simulation tools for building design and evaluation in Singapore based on an extensive industry survey.
Application of complex energy simulation in competition design of Czech embassy en Ottawa | 1999 | English
This paper describes use of building energy performance modelling and simulation in design process at the early conceptual level of architectural design.
This paper presents the preliminary modelling perspectives of an ongoing project where a exible simulation tool for component and system analysis of district heating consumer installations is developed. The simulation tool makes it possible to sim
Traditional algorithms for the simulation of sound propagation in spatial enclosures include the image source method and the ray-tracing method. These algorithms are computation intensive and take a long time to generate results.
In multizone models used to predict thermal comportment of buildings and inside air quality, representation of the airflow through large vertical openings is very important.
A comparison of methods to estimate hourly total irradiation on tilted surfaces from hourly global irradiation on a horizontal surface | 1999 | English
A combined analytic and case-based approach to thermal comfort prediction in buildings | 1999 | English
Despite the obvious importance of thermal comfort in the design of indoor environment, it has not been effectively integrated with design decision support tools.
A development of a HVAC experimental chamber and its numerical model, "Numerical HVAC experimental chamber" on a computer | 1999 | English
We first developed an actual HVAC experimental chamber including an air distribution system, an air handling unit, fan coil units, and control systems.
A comparative study of HVAC dynamic behavior between actual measurements and simulated results by HVACSIM+(J) | 1999 | English
A dynamic simulation of the HVAC system is being paid attention because of the development of the computer technology. Authors examined the reproducibility of HVACSIM+(J).
A case study of the energy performance of an office building with double-envelope and atrium | 1999 | English
This paper presents an investigation of the energy performance in an office building in Daejeon, Korea. The office building has a south-facing glazed double envelope and a rectangular atrium.
