New experimental validation and model improvement tools for the Clim2000 energy simulation software program | 1999 | English
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.
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.
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.
Load prediction for aptimal thermal storage: comparison of three kinds of model application | 1999 | English
It is necessary to predict the load of the following day and hours to establish optimal thermal storage.
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.
Simulation of ventilation and indoor air quality in houses using average japanese daily schedule | 1999 | English
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.
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.
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
Study on adaptive mesh generation method in CFD calculation with conjugate heat transfer model | 1999 | English
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.
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.
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.
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
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
This paper is focused on the development of measuring equipment of Effective Leakage Area (ELA) by AC pressurization method. The formula to design the measuring system is derived according to the governing equation of the leakage, e.g.
Evaluation of energy performance of an existing house in montreal using four energy analysis software | 1999 | English
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of four energy analysis software to predict the energy performance of an existing house. The discussion covers: (i) the modelling-related issues, and (ii) the impact of modelling accuracy
This paper reports on two case studies that explore the current use of computational tools in building design scenarios.
This paper presents the process followed for defining the features of the next-generation HOT2000 simulator, and the conclusions drawn at the workshops, concerning the most appropriate modelling approaches.
The potential of building energy simulation is now well recognised and the use of the technology by progressive energy sector companies is growing. The success of any building performance assessment hinges on the capabilities of the tool, the coll
