There  are  two  kind  of  supply  fan  rotation  speed control methods, one is the static pressure control method, the other is the float pressure control method. Simulation shows that they have different working point along the whole year.

Most of the Brazilian population is concentrated in the shore region in cities like Rio de Janeiro.
Alberto Hernandez Neto, Arlindo Tribess, Fúlvio Vittorino, Maria Akutsu
Based  on  the  thermal  and  airflow  network  model with simple but perfect generic formulations and stable solving methods, a computer program NETS for the practical simulation of coupled building heat, gas and air transfer system has been deve
Hiroyasu Okuyama
An evaluation method for life cycle energy (LCE) and CO2 (LCCO2) of houses by the  system dynamics (SD), a method for understanding how all the objects in a system interact with one another, was presented.
Hiroshi Matsumoto
Up to now, within the framework of validation of the global building energy simulation software programme CLIM2000, we have not focused on analytical verification.
Gilles Guyon, Stéphane Moinard, Nacim Ramdani
This  paper  examines  the  process  by  which  the kitchen exhaust from a dwelling unit diffuses throughout the other dwelling units in a seven-story housing facility.
Shinnichiro Nagano
The research on provision of computational support for building performance analysis has traditionally concentrated on the building design phase. However, computational modeling can also effectively apply to the building operation phase.
Ardeshir Mahdavi, Seongju Chang, Vineeta Pal
This paper decribes a research project to compare, using simulation, the summertime comfort and energy use of naturally ventilated and mixed-mode (limited cooling) UK office buildings.
Andrew Wright, Geoff Levermore
This paper presents a mathematical model yielding a simplified representation of the thermal behaviors of ivy-covered walls. The model is integrated with a CFD program to implement simulation.
Liao Zaiyi, Niu J.L
The LESCOM program using the Response Factor Method developed by the authors was applied to the direct gain system and calculation of fluctuations in room temperature.
Hitoshi Takeda and Yasunao Iriguchi
This paper describes an effort to link the COMIS 3.0 multi-zone airflow model with the EnergyPlus building energy simulation program.
Joe Huang, Fred Winkelmann, Fred Buhl, Curtis Pedersen, Daniel Fisher, Richard Liesen, Russell Taylor, Richard Strand, Drury Crawley, Linda Lawrie
This paper describes a method to calculate cool and warm exergies stored by building envelopes and the result of a case study in terms of passive cooling strategy using the building envelope heat capacity.
Ryoji Nishikawa, Masanori Shukuya
A new calculation method is proposed for designing space radiant heating/cooling systems by improving conventional methods of steady and unsteady heat transfer calculation theory which has usually been used for designing of buried pipe floor heati
Hisaya Ishino
This paper introduces a method to simulate the day-light performance of buildings using geostational me- teorological satellite images.
Yoshiaki Uetani
The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
Ian Beausoleil-Morrison
In order to make proper radiative meshes with considering thermal distribution on solid surfaces, we inves- tigated the adaptive mesh generation method and per- formed parametric survey for a threshold which con- trols subdivision of mesh.

The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
Masahide Yanagi, Tsuneo Uekusa, Jun-ichi Yamada and Kazumasa Shinjo
The purpose of this study is to show explicitly a series of exergy input, output, and consumption for daylighting, electric-lighting, and space heating/cooling system and hence to reveal how daylighting system consumes solar exergy and how electri

Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.

Internal   melt   ice-on-coil   tank   with   built-in horizontal tubes is a kind of ice tank used widely. Its discharge process is effected greatly by density different between ice and water.
