The application of computer simulation techniques to the design and preservation of a national monument | 1999 | English
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.
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 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.
There are two kind of supply fan rotation speed control methods, one is the static pressure control method, the other is the float pressure control method. Simulation shows that they have different working point along the whole year.
