The development of an intelligent, integrated building design system within the european combine project | 1995 | English
There are two main issues to be resolved in order that design tools can be used in cooperative mode, each communicating with the other.
This paper reports on a project carried out at Delft University of Technology, for improvement of daylightíng simulation tools.
The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the latest developrnents of the CSTB R&D program Intelligent Simulation Environment (ISE).
Numerical modelling of air flows in buildings and design of a data base of experiments | 1995 | English
During the recent years a lot of models describing air flows in buildings have been designed by Researchers. These models, which are based more or less on simplified approaches coming from fluid dynamics, share a high complexity level because of c
Teaching building simulation with the help of general purpose dynamical modeling software | 1995 | English
Learning how to model and simulate dynamical systems such as a building does not have to be restricted to specialists who have learned the physics, applied mathematics, and engineering necessary for the task.
Simulation of dynamic moisture transport processes in building structures under varying conditions re- the solution of the partial differential equations of coupled moisture and heat transport. Our research focuses on the moisture transport equati
Thermal bridge (cold bridge) assessment is becoming more important for two reasons: firstly, as legislation and energy awareness lead to increased insulation levels, so losses due to cold bridging form an increasing fraction of building heat losse
The fundamentals of a probabilistic approximation in thermal buildings analysis is here briefly presented.
Building energy and system simulation programs : model development, coupling and integration | 1995 | English
This paper presents some results of the development and application work of the Building Equipmentsection at EMPA related to integrated building and HVAC simulation environments.
The potential of the different passive cooling strategies for popular residential buildings in Israel is evaluated using a simplified simulation program.
Lightpad 2.0 : a portable audit and design (pad) tool for evaluating retrofit lighting options | 1995 | English
The EPRI LightPAD program is a simple but powerful lighting audit and analysis tool for assessing installed lighting systems and proposing cost-effective, energy-efficient retrofit alternatives.
The current models of boilers and furnaces which are used in HVAC system simulation programs are primarily concerned with calculating the heat output of the device and its fuel consumption.
Data for convective heat transfer coefficients (CHTC's) published in the literature tend to be for anisolated heated vertical plate, with few data based on measurements at room surfaces Accurate values of CHTC's for internal room surfaces are need
Examples on application of system simulation in preplanning, sizing and comissioning of HVAC systems are briefly given and typical obstacles for a more broader utilization in engineering offices are introduced.
Automatic generation of complex simulation models of buildings with solar heating systems | 1995 | English
Comprehensive studies of the energy saving potential for buildings will often not be performed in a design phase - especially not for renovation projects.
Intelligent computer control of air conditioning systems based on genetic algorithm and classifier system | 1995 | English
Conventional control schernes for air condítioning systems are in lack of the capabilities to adapt to a changing enviroranent and to optimize against given criteria.
Computer-aided training of bioclimatic architectural design : experience with teachware for building performance prediction | 1995 | English
"Bioclimatic Architecture" offers adequate inner thermal comfort for human use, while, responding to the climatic outdoor conditions with reduced heating and cooling loads. This demand. asks for prediction.
A methodology is presented for creating models which are suitable for use in fault detection and diagnosis schernes in applications where it is impossible to obtain data from the actual plant.
