Automating the selection of fenestration system to best meet daylighting performance goals | 2003 | English
This paper is part of continuing research aimed at exploring the relationship between the amount of solar radiation received by a curved roof and its geometrical configurations.
Development of district energy system simulation model based on detailed energy demand | 2003 | English
This paper presents a district energy system simulation model in which the energy flow of a district is modeled as the sum of total energy flow in each building.
Validation is the key when attempting to instill confidence in a building simulation tool.
Agency Annex 35 “Hybrid Ventilation in New and Retrofitted Office Buildings”.
Cfd modelling of fire suppression by water spray: sensitivity and validation for a pool fire in a room | 2003 | English
In 1998, MoD commissioned ANSYS CFX to develop a numerical procedure, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aimed at providing a practical tool which can be integrated into design processes in order to optimise lowpressure fine water spray
DElight is a simulation engine for daylight and electric lighting system analysis in buildings.
Assessing the dynamics of indoor natural illuminance in adavanced packages for building energy analysis | 2003 | English
Advanced packages for building energy analysis require simplified methods to reduce the computational time in assessing the indoor visual environment.
Building design and operation processes can be supported by many kinds of models, from traditional architectural scale models to computer-generated virtual buildings.
Development of an advanced computer tool, AUSSM TOOL, for a couplinf simulation with building thermal system and urban climatology | 2003 | English
The computer software AUSSSM TOOL, originating from the methodology of the revised-Architectural- Urban-Soil-Simultaneous Simulation Model (revised-AUSSSM), was developed by adopting the Graphical User Interface (GUI) features to support users, wh
A methodology analyse the thermal loads of nonresidential buildings based on simplified weather data | 2003 | English
This paper presents a methodology to analyse the thermal loads of non-residential buildings based on simplified weather data, which are available for 206 Brazilian locations.
A simulation study on the response of charged and discharged thermal energy in building thermal mass storage systems | 2003 | English
This study discusses charging and discharging performance in building thermal mass storage systems. Building thermal mass storage systems utilize the thermal masses of the beams and the concrete floor slab to absorb cool energy that is produced us
Computer based modeling tools were used to examine the hygrothermal environment inside a heavy-masonry historic building experiencing crypto-efflorescence damage to its moisture-laden brick vault.
We present a representational framework for the integrated operation of multiple environmental systems in buildings. A methodology for the automatic generation of this framework is introduced.
A decision-making tool to support integration of sustainable technologies in refurbishment projects | 2003 | English
The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient use of energy in the retrofitting of social housing buildings. In this scope, one step was to develop
A numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer in a room with the air-underfloor heating | 2003 | English
The current work presents features of an air-underfloor heating system and CFD model to predict velocity and temperature distribution. The paper describes the constructions of air-underfloor heat exchangers.
This paper describes a newly developed prototype of continuous commissioning tool that can be stand-alone or be embedded in a BEMS to continuously monitor a building’s HVAC systems performance and detect faults during operation phase. The componen
A study on the thermal response characteristics of the floor of hydronic floor heating systems | 2003 | English
Many studies have been performed on floor heating systems.
The low-flow solar water heater – from 7 litres/hour to 15 litres/hour per solar collector area – is the most promising way for improving the solar water heater performance.
3d digital geometric reconstruction of the urban environment fot daylighting simulation studies | 2003 | English
In principal, the algorithms used in advanced lighting simulation software are equally applicable to interior and exterior situations [Ashdown 1994][Ward 1998]. In practice the scope is limited: a realistic CAD model of a building in a complex urb
