Validation of a building thermal model in Clim2000 simulation software using full-scale experimental data, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty analysis | 1997 | English
Predicting natural ventilation air velocity using deterministic and nom-deterministic methodologies | 1997 | English
An extensive experimental program on single sided natural ventilation was carried out within the frame of PASCOOL EC research project.
The optimal insulation detail of the thermal bridge adjcent to hot water pipes in apartment buildings slabs | 1997 | English
The methods for evaluating the thermal performance of each insulation detail alternative with the multidimensional heat transfer simulation are presented to determine the optimal insulation details of the thermal bridges adjacent to hot water pipe
The need for a decrease in the energy consumption of buildings implies an adequate understanding of control strategies. This requires an intensive use of simulation tools for the design and test of controllers of HVAC equipment.
The effectiveness of simple shading devices in reducing the direct, diffuse and ground reflected components of solar radiation has been measured and compared to simulation predictions of the same. The simulation results were found to be very sensi
This paper explores a simulation-assisted building control strategy.
Modelling and simulation play a number of roles in engineering design studies. For Gaz de France, these studies must satisfy exacting criteria of quality and rapidity.
Reliable sky luminance models are considered to be conditio sine qua non for accurate computational simulation of daylight distribution in architectural spaces. Toward this end, the paper compares six sky models specifically with regard to their a
Examination of the concept of using 'typical-week' weather data for simulation of annualized energy use in buildings | 1997 | English
This paper investigates the feasibility of using short segments of weather data to simulate annual energy use in buildings.
A numerical and experimental study is performed to analyze the influence of natural convection on heat transfer in a composite system comprising a porous material heated from below and an air space situated above this.
BASESIMP: a residential-foundation heat-loss algorithm for incorporating into whole-building energy-analysis programs | 1997 | English
Heat losses from foundations are poorly considered in many whole-building energy programs which are used to model houses.
Many building simulation computer programs, originally developed on mainframe computers for research purposes, can now run on the powerful workstation and personal computers that are available to most architectural and engineering firms.
A new integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Insinööritoimisto Olof Granlund Oy.
COMIS 3.0: a new simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling | 1997 | English
COMIS 3.0 is a new simulation environment developed in the framework of IEA/ECB Annex 23. To our knowledge this is the first time that one of the Annexes of IEA/ECB produces as its main result a validated software not only designed for research la
A major barrier to using energy simulation tools during the design process of a building has been the difficulty of using the available programs.
The design of monitoring system for distnbuted energy and heat supply is presented in the paper.
Application of simulation in design and operation of refurbished buildings and heating systems | 1997 | English
This paper gives an introduction into the simulation of the thermic behaviour of a modernized building including the calculation of both single and two pipe heating by a new TYPE57 for simulation of heating pipe systems within the program TRNSYS.
In this paper, a new method of direct run - time coupling between building energy simulation and global illuminance simulation is outlined and discussed.
If a map of a city is encoded as a Digital Elevation Model, it becomes amenable to image-processing software, such as the public-domain NIH Image application.
Computation of sound propagation in enclosed spaces is needed for a variety of purposes such as noise exposure in industrial spaces, acoustic privacy conditions in open-plan office settings, and speech intelligibility in auditoriums.
