Simulation of daylight performance of buildings by the daylight source model based on geostational meteorological satellite images | 1999 | English
The treatment of convective heat transfer at internal building surfaces has a significant impact on the simulation of heat and air flow.
The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA).
When some faults take place in a thermal storage HVAC system, changing pattern of the temperature profiles of the thermal storage tank is useful to infer where some faults exist.
Numerical analysis of annual exergy consumption for daylighting, electric-ligthing, and space heating/cooling system | 1999 | English
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
RARX algorithm based model development and application to real time data for on-line fault detection in Vav Ahu Units | 1999 | English
Assimilation of cost-effective Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) technique in building management sys- tem can save enormous amount of energy and material.
The purpose of this study is to develop the technique that mixing energy loss is predicted at the time of the air conditioning system design by the simulation.
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.
A reduction in the emissions arising from urban activities demands a combination of energy efficiency measures and a move away from fossil fuel sources.
Study into optimized control for air-conditioning system with floor thermal storage | 1999 | English
Air-conditioning systems with floor thermal storage can be used for cutting peak load and utilizing nighttime electric power.
In the present work, human thermal comfort is investigated within the built environment. The analysis is based on two building thermal simulation models.
