A practical way to estimate the accuracy of sound field analysis by the finite element method in building environments is presented here.
Toru Otsuru and Reiji Tomiku
In  order  to  evaluate  the  air  conditioning  system performance in terms of control, comfort and energy conservation, this paper presents an approach to modeling automatic control process in a typical conditioned space of an office building.
Jun Cui, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Yuji Ryu, Yasunori Akashi and Norimitsu Nishiyama
A  method  for  evaluating  solar  rights  and  shading requirements in an urban environment is presented. The method is embedded in a CAD tool developed and adapted for this purpose.
A. Yezioro, E.Shaviv
It is important to apply the natural light effectively for the low energy consuming daylighting design.
Norio Igawa, Hiroshi Nakamura and Kunio Matsuura
This  work  has  allowed  to  test  different  model improvement tools, by applying them on two building models. At the close of this study, an important point concerning the capability of the CLIM2000 software program to perform exact derivative

In order to make proper radiative meshes with considering thermal distribution on solid surfaces, we inves- tigated the adaptive mesh generation method and per- formed parametric survey for a threshold which con- trols subdivision of mesh.
Imano Masashi, Kamata Motoyasu, Kurabuchi Takashi, Hayama Hirofumi, Kishita Manabu
The purpose of this study is designing a hybrid system which is a combination of radiant cooling and low temperature air conditioning integrated with ice stor- age system.
Masafumi Kondo, Naoko Matsuki, Yukio Nakano, Toshiyuki Miyanaga, Tatsuo Oka
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
Nobuo Nakahara, Mingjie Zheng, Song Pan, Yoshihiko Nishitani
The  Simulation  Problem  Analysis  and  Research Kernel (SPARK) uses graph-theoretic techniques to match equations to variables and build computational graphs, yielding solution sequences indicated by needed data flow.
Edward F. Sowell, Philip Haves
This article presents the SIM-FAST software : it is a tool which allows to evaluate the energy consumption and the financial cost of French buildings in the Residential sector.
Francis Déqué, Laurent Catusse and Sophie Castanet
In order to explain the effect of ventilation systems and airtight performance of houses in detached houses, the investigation was made on a simulation program which calculates the ventilation rates and indoor air quality.
Motoya Hayashi, Masamichi Enai, Yoshiko Hirokawa
In this article, we present the dynamic modelling of a heating and air conditioning small output installation in a residential building. The main aim of this modelling study is to acquire a better knowledge of all phenomena which govern the behavi

The operation of technical building devices demands a lot of heating, cooling and electric energy. This also causes monetary costs and pollutant emission as well.
Gottfried Knabe, Clemens Felsmann
In  this  paper   a   new  method  called  TSM  was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
Bin Zhao, Ying Li, Xianting Li and Qisen Yan
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
Minako Nabeshima and Kazuo Emura
Simulation  of  cleaning  is  a  new  area  in  building simulations. To make rational cleaning is it important to know how difficult it is to clean rooms. I define a Cleaning Index (CI) as the cleaning area divided by the floor area.
Anker Nielsen
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
Isaac G. Capeluto, E. Shaviv
The optimal supervisory control strategy for a central chilled water facility has been determined. A quadratic linear regression relation for the total system power in terms of the controlled and uncontrolled variables was  developed  using simula
B.C. Ahn, J.W. Mitchell
The  authors  propose  a  predicting  methodology combined with simultaneous solution for Building- Urban-Soil system to analyze the heat island phenomenon quantitatively in this paper. Using this model, numerical simulation is performed in order
