This paper referrer to the existence of the variety modes and the 'chaos' in building ventilation system, and provides some instances of such varieties and the chaos in forced ceiling chamber smoke exhaust system in building fire. The numer
Thermal analysis of 3-dimensional heat brigdes included in steel framed houses: method of making models and analysis examples | 1999 | English
In this report, recently developed computer program named TB3D/FDM(Thermal Bridge Computa- tion by 2- or 3-Dimensional Finite Difference Method) is introduced.
The control of the thermal environment of perimeter spaces in buildings to prevent cold drafts | 1999 | English
This paper is focused on the evaluation of simulation system using the experiment result and the con- figuration of peri-counter which is the part of counter unit setting at bottom of window side with heat panel to avoid the influence of cold draf
UMIDUS: A PC program for the prediction of heat and moisture transfer in porous buildings elements | 1999 | English
This paper presents the Umidus program which has been developed to model coupled heat and moisture transfer within porous media, in order to analyze higrothemal performance of building elements when subjected to any kind of climate conditions. Bo
The use of simulation software to evaluate the thermal performance of buildings in Brazil | 1999 | English
The traditional methods for the evaluation of the thermal performance of buildings are appropriate to winter conditions and are often used in standards that regulate energy consumption.
In this paper a new method called TSM was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
This paper proposes useful techniques of regression analysis to estimate regional water temperatures for the optimum design of the hot water supply system.
Simulation of cleaning is a new area in building simulations. To make rational cleaning is it important to know how difficult it is to clean rooms. I define a Cleaning Index (CI) as the cleaning area divided by the floor area.
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.
A model for the design of urban grids and fabric with solar rights consideration taken into account is presented.
The optimal supervisory control strategy for a central chilled water facility has been determined. A quadratic linear regression relation for the total system power in terms of the controlled and uncontrolled variables was developed using simula
Numerical analysis of air temperature increases in urban area using the building-urban-soil simultaneous simulation model | 1999 | English
The authors propose a predicting methodology combined with simultaneous solution for Building- Urban-Soil system to analyze the heat island phenomenon quantitatively in this paper. Using this model, numerical simulation is performed in order
Project REED (Residential Energy Efficiency Design) is a Web-based building performance simulation tool developed under contract to one of the nations largest utilities, to help their 4.5 million ratepayers make en- ergy efficient design decisions
An integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Olof Granlund Oy.
Modeling and calibration of lateral heat loss rate in measuring the R value of partly heated wall | 1999 | English
An experimental apparatus (in-situ thermal test unit) and an analysis method have been developed for evaluating the thermal resistance of the building envelope on site.
Simulation of visual context in architecture, the environment that surrounds both building and observer, is an essential but problematic feature of realistic imagery.
A major goal in computer-aided design research has been the development of integrated design for convenient generation and evaluation of evolving designs.
Selection and control of HVAC systems for optimal life-cycle efficiency using simulation techniques | 1999 | English
Design of air conditioning systems for efficient and effective part-load operation poses a considerable challenge, but one which is frequently not appreciated by the designer tied to traditional design practices.
