Architectural constraints in a generative design system: interpreting energy consumption levels | 2001 | English
Computational support for the generation and exploration of the design-performance space | 2001 | English
While recent advances in computational building performance modeling have been remarkable, their impact on building design community has been limited. In this paper we focus on one possible contributing factor, i.e., insufficient support for navig
Development of virtual simulation system for housing environment using rapid prototype method | 2001 | English
This report introduces the rapid prototype method newly developed to design individual housings.
This paper is focused on a mathematical model applied to both building thermal analysis and control systems design. A lumped approach is used to model the room air temperature and a multi-layer model for the building envelope.
There are two purposes for this paper, one is that the calculation method, which took sunlight into consideration using All Sky Model, is shown, and another is executing simulations by this method.
The combinations of parameter effecting optimum energy consumption and good open view for designing side-window of office buildings are proposed.
COMIS V3.1 simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling | 2001 | English
COMIS simulates multizone airflow and pollutant transport. It has been developed in an international context at LBNL and within IEA Annex 23.
Development of a collaborative design tool for structural analysis in an immersive virtual environment | 2001 | English
This paper contains the results of an on-going collaborative research effort by the departments of Architecture and Computer Science of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, U.S.A., to develop a computer visualization application fo
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.
We describe a mathematical model applied to analysis of hygrothermal behavior of buildings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This paper deals with comparison between the CFD method and the zonal one, and also model experimental validation. The zonal method consists of a dwelling decomposition in several isothermal air zones, in contact with walls.
This paper describes the modelling and simulation work that was carried out to support the design team of the new "Indonesian Jungle" pavilion in Prague Zoo.
