A methodology analyse the thermal loads of nonresidential buildings based on simplified weather data | 2003 | English
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.
Statistical interpretation of the results of building simulation and its use in design decisions | 2003 | English
The practical use of building simulation software requires a global and comprehensible interpretation of results for decision support in design.
