The exergy approach for the evaluation of heating and cooling technologies; first results comparing steady state and dynamic simulations | 2007 | English
Energy saving and emissions reduction are both affectedby the energy efficiency of the built environment and the matching between the quality of the energy carrierand the quality of the required energy.
The impact of building envelope design on thermal performance of office buildingsin Egypt | 2007 | English
This paper introduces research being carried out to support effective energy efficient design in Egypt. It is based on deriving results of multiple parametric simulationsof energy performance of office buildings in Cairo and Alexandria.
The purpose of this work is to study numerically the indoorenvironmental conditions in an office.
Presently the assessment of the thermal behaviour and the energy efficiency of naturally ventilated double skin facades (DSF) is only possible by using complex simulationtools, which allow inter-connections between fluid dynamics, energy balances
The energy performance of glazed office buildings with double skin facades - BESTFACADE | 2007 | English
Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades.Their energy efficiency and indoor climate is, however, being questioned.
