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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Elements of a simulation-assisted daylight-responsive illumination systems control in buildings | 2005 | English
This paper presents a simulation-assisted daylightresponsive illumination control system.
A proposed system-level model for simulating the thermal and electrical production of solid-oxide fuel cell residential cogeneration devices within whole-building simulation | 2005 | English
A new model for predicting the thermal and electrical performance of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cogeneration devices for residential buildings has been developed.
A hygrothermal building model based on theobject-oriented modeling language modelica | 2005 | English
A new hygrothermal building model is being developed within the research project GENSIM by the Fraunhofer institutes FIRST and IBP. The model implementation takes place by using the objectoriented modeling language Modelica.
This paper explores the degree to which subjective assessments of the acoustical properties of a real space can be reproduced by assessments that are based on computational auralization.
Apolux - an innovative computer code for daylight design and analysis in architecture and urbanism | 2005 | English
APOLUX 1.0 is a computer code specifically developed for assisting the architect regarding daylighting considerations; it runs in a threedimensional graphic environment, accepts files from graphic editors and uses models physically consistent for
A prescription method for the design of office buildings an energetic – economic approach | 2005 | English
A new Energy Code for office buildings in Israel, currently under development, is presented.
The impact of building regulations on the final form of a design can be quite significant.
Agent-based measuring, control and regulation techniques for hvac-system simulations | 2005 | English
In this paper we present an interactive software prototype for fluid flow problems in civil engineering including:
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) have been proposed to treat the outdoor air before it enters the building and thus reduce the load on the zone equipment.
Matlab/Simulink is known in a large number of fields as a powerful and modern simulation tool. In the field of building and HVAC simulation its use is also increasing.
