Building simulation by application of a HVAC system considering the thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls | 2001 | English
This article introduces building simulation in conjunction with a HVAC system, especially a split system, considering thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls.
Daylighting in commercial buildings: the use of new components and design solutions to optimize visual comfort | 2001 | English
The use of daylighting in buildings can be an improvement when trying to enhance the environmental quality and the energy efficiency of them.
Estimating relative humidity from outdoor air temperature and humidity, and indoor air temperature is a means to assess thermal comfort conditions when indoor relative humidity is not available.
CODYBA is a software addressed to designers, teachers and research organisms. This software determines the energetic fluxes of a building zone. The basic data are the zones geometry and constitution.
Development and demonstration of a renewable of a renewable energy demand/supply decision profession | 2001 | English
Future cities are likely to be characterised by a greater level of renewable energy systems deployment.
Distributed web-based building performance computing: a Singapore-US collaborative effort | 2001 | English
This paper reports on the progress of the S2 project. This is an ongoing effort toward an Internet-based environment for distributed collaborative performance-based building design and evaluation.
Horizontal and vertical brises soleil are dominant elements in the modernist tropical architecture.
The energy efficiency of switchable (variable transmittance) windows having a control system based on occupancy, temperature and impinging solar radiation is evaluated.
The lack of widespread use of building environmental design decision support tools in architecture appears to be because the tools are often too simplistic.
An observational study on thermal environment and energy conservation in an office building with modern conveniences | 2001 | English
In this paper we report the findings of a survey conducted to evaluate the energy-conservation performance of an office building some time after construction, and present the results of a simulation that was performed to identify possible improvem
This work presents the program SIMEDIF, a code conceived for the design and simulation of the thermal transient behavior of buildings, entirely developed at INENCO.
This work wants to provide the planners with a database of the typical mediterranean building structures.
Advanced building services simulation software providing design solutions in Dublin and Boston | 2001 | English
The paper uses the latest state of the art dynamic simulation software to analyse and present design information for building design engineers on current design questions in both Dublin and Boston.
A study on the accuracy of daylighting simulation pf heavily obstructed buildings in Hong Kong | 2001 | English
Hong Kong is the most densely populated city in the world. The Building Regulations of Hong Kong pre- scribe a minimum distance between buildings for light- ing and ventilation.
This paper presents the requirements of the building representation to supports the holistic performance assessment of building performance into a single application.
Application of quasi-steady-state thermodynamic model of conventional heating system with Takahashi control method | 2001 | English
An indirect control technique using a single-zone space model is presented.
A simulation analysis of the opening of entrance doors and winter airflow into the entrance hall of a high-rise office building | 2001 | English
This study aims to develop a simplified estimation method of the thermal design load and space radiant environment in order to achieve adequate and economical HVAC equipment sizing and confirmation of thermal comfort.
New calculation procedures for calculating conduction heat transfer for foundations are described. These procedures are first validated and then implemented within EnergyPlus source code (beta version 5.0).
