Computer simulation/end-use metering or "can we count on energy savings estimates in designing demand-side programs"? | 1989 | English
In a paper presented at the 1985 predecessor of this conference, I maintained that current PC microcomputer technologies provided the opportunity to develop a new generation of graphically oriented, interactive building modeling programs.
A summary of building energy analysis and design tool evaluation results from IEA task VIII | 1989 | English
This paper summarizes the results of numerous building energy analysis and design tool evaluation exercises carried out under lEA Task VIII: Passive and Hybrid Solar Low Energy Buildings.
Much effort has been devoted over the years to advance Building Performance Simulation (BPS) by improving algorithms and by extending the simulation domain to daylighting, acoustics, and indoor air quality.
In thermal simulation codes for buildings, aeraulic transfers are computed either with very simplified models (fixed air distribution) or with sophisticated models (based on the computation of the pressure fields).
In order to assess the applicability of a more modular approach to the development of building thermal analysis programs, this paper begins with a review of some of the basic numerical methods used in simulation.
Building energy simulations for design, evaluation, commissioning, control and diagnostics | 1989 | English
The most common use of building energy simulations, by far, is in the design of buildings, especially non-residential ones.
This papers introduces an emulation system for simulation of the thermal process of building and plant named ESAC (Emulation Set for Air-Conditioning systems) developed in 1984, and a prototype system was presented in 1985 (1), since then a great
Mathematical models of various kinds are important in many disciplines. Unfortunately, it is often difficult and time-consuming to develop models.
This paper summarises the objectives and initial achievements of BEPAC, a recently formed club based in the UK which in many respects parallels the stated goals of IBPSA.
Commercial building owners and managers face a complex array of HvAc technology options. Economicanalysis of the options requires consideration of technology characteristics, equipment operatingstrategies, and utility rates.
Today, the development of computer makes the accurate performance analysis of complex system by simulation available for most of the research community, and very soon for every concerned engineer.
