This article presents the SIM-FAST software : it is a tool which allows to evaluate the energy consumption and the financial cost of French buildings in the Residential sector.
In this article, we present the dynamic modelling of a heating and air conditioning small output installation in a residential building. The main aim of this modelling study is to acquire a better knowledge of all phenomena which govern the behavi
The operation of technical building devices demands a lot of heating, cooling and electric energy. This also causes monetary costs and pollutant emission as well.
Simulation of ventilation and indoor air quality in houses using average japanese daily schedule | 1999 | English
In order to explain the effect of ventilation systems and airtight performance of houses in detached houses, the investigation was made on a simulation program which calculates the ventilation rates and indoor air quality.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
An integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Olof Granlund Oy.
A major goal in computer-aided design research has been the development of integrated design for convenient generation and evaluation of evolving designs.
M2M&Roofsol: a tool for evaluating the cooling performance of passive roof components using teh model synthesis method | 1999 | English
This communication presents a tool, m2m&Roofsol, which has been developed in the framework of a European project, ROOFSOL, dedicated to the study of passive cooling by roof components.
