Energy and thermal analysis of glazed office buildings using a dynamic energy simulation tool | 2005 | English
Highly glazed buildings are often considered to be airy, light and transparent with more access to daylight than traditional buildings, but their energy efficiency is often questioned.
CFD modelling of convective heat transfer from a window with adjacent venetian blinds | 2005 | English
This paper studies in three-dimension the coupled convective and radiative heat transfer rate from a window surface with adjacent aluminium venetian blind using commercially available CFD software. The flow patterns (temperature and velocity field
This paper presents an analysis of the thermal
behaviour of the new San Diego Children’s museum
and the subsequent development of a low energy
climate control system. The museum is designed as a
Development of single-zone predictive equations using linear regression for advanced controllers synthesis | 2005 | English
Regression equations can be used for predicting temperature and relative humidity in single-zone buildings.
While most of the existing artificial neural networks (ANN) models for building energy prediction are static in nature, this paper evaluates the performance of adaptive ANN models that are capable of adapting themselves to unexpected pattern chang
This paper presents the results of a case study in which Low Temperature radiators, High Temperature radiators and floor heating systems are compared using a TRNSYS16-model of a typical erraced house.
Energuide for houses database – an innovative approach to track residential energy evaluations and measure benefits | 2005 | English
The EnerGuide for Houses (EGH) database is a management information tool and central depository for tracking residential energy evaluations and measuring benefits from the energy evaluations delivered across Canada.
CFD calculations on night cooling by natural ventilation have been carried out for two different opening geometries: 1) a set of panels and 2) a 'parallel window'. Ventilation rates for these geometries have also been measured in a research facili
Delight2 daylighting analysis in energy plus: integration and preliminary user results | 2005 | English
DElight is a simulation engine for daylight and electric lighting system analysis in buildings.
The evaluation and analysis of available simulation tools suggests a thorough research methodology for creating a new front-end interface that solves current usage problems.
This paper presents a numerical model for the analysis of impact of building envelope porosity on energy.
The tendency to impose stricter building regulations in order to further decrease energy consumption contradicts the tendency to build more transparent architecture and apply thinner façade construction elements.
Elements of a simulation-assisted daylight-responsive illumination systems control in buildings | 2005 | English
This paper presents a simulation-assisted daylightresponsive illumination control system.
Calibrated simulation of the degradation of a solar hotwater system performance over a 22-year period of operation | 2005 | English
This paper reports on the measured performance of a residential solar water heater system over a period of 22 years and the modeling of the system to simulate its degradation over that period.
Cooling load simulation considering actual variation ofinhabitants’ behavior for accurate estimation of urban maximum energy requirement | 2005 | English
A brand-new methodology for considerably accurate time-series cooling load calculation in a dwelling is established, motivated by the fact that dwelling energy requirements so significantly affect the so-called urban heat island.
Assessing sustainability strategies for institutional facilities using cbip screening tool | 2005 | English
Institutional facilities embody the physical infrastructure of the communities they house. Aging institutional buildings, especially those within extensive central campuses, cannot easily be disposed of or abandoned in favour of new facilities.
This paper is about the application of a local (radiant) bench heating system in a church.
Development of a building energy model for carbon reduction in the UK non-domestic stock | 2005 | English
The requirements for a scaleable energy model for the UK non-domestic building stock are described.. The non-domestic stock is much more heterogeneous than the domestic stock.
This paper deals with the dynamical modelling of a solar evacuated tube collector under variable weather conditions. After describing the mathematical model, the paper presents elements of validation.
