A method to edit movies for a visual simulator and the of the torsional motion of high-rise buildings on human perception | 1999 | English
A study of the way in which humans visually perceive the motion of high-rise buildings was carried out. In our experiment, an edited movie was projected so that the subjects could observe the motion of the view from a window.
An evaluation of radiance based simulations of annual indoor illuminance distributions due to daylight | 1999 | English
This paper presents a new, accelerated method based on GD\OLJKWFRHIILFLHQWV according to Tregenza [1] to calculate cumulative annual indoor illuminance distributions.
Comparison between wave theory and energy method in acoustic prediction of HVAC duct networks | 1999 | English
Sound predictions based on the wave theory were carried out on HVAC duct networks.
A potentially fast, flexible and accurate earth-contact heat transfer simulation method | 1999 | English
It is a basic premise of this paper that accurate earthcontact simulation is important and that the rapid parametric analysis of a structure can help designers pinpoint critical aspects of a structure early in the design stage.
The objective of this study is to improve the control performance of Ondol heating system in apartment buildings. For this purpose, prevalent control systems and relevant researches are evaluated.
Assessing the value of typical meterological years built from observed and from synthetic data for building thermal simulation | 1999 | English
Typical Meteorological Years obtained from observed meteorological records have become the de facto data source when evaluating thermal performance of buildings.
An absorption chiller model is developed for HVACSIM+(J). The model simulates dynamic characteristics of the chiller, such as dynamic trends of chiller temperatures and COP.
Calibration procedure of energy performance simulation model for a commercial building | 1999 | English
Calibration with actual data has been considered as one of the most important and difficult part for the systematic energy audit procedure.
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with a Dynamic Subgrid-scale Model (DSM) is a powerful tool to predict indoor airflow. However, the model needs to average the model coefficient over a homogeneous direction.
A comparative study of HVAC dynamic behavior between actual measurements and simulated results by HVACSIM+(J) | 1999 | English
A dynamic simulation of the HVAC system is being paid attention because of the development of the computer technology. Authors examined the reproducibility of HVACSIM+(J).
A case study of the energy performance of an office building with double-envelope and atrium | 1999 | English
This paper presents an investigation of the energy performance in an office building in Daejeon, Korea. The office building has a south-facing glazed double envelope and a rectangular atrium.
A comparison of methods to estimate hourly total irradiation on tilted surfaces from hourly global irradiation on a horizontal surface | 1999 | English
A combined analytic and case-based approach to thermal comfort prediction in buildings | 1999 | English
Despite the obvious importance of thermal comfort in the design of indoor environment, it has not been effectively integrated with design decision support tools.
A development of a HVAC experimental chamber and its numerical model, "Numerical HVAC experimental chamber" on a computer | 1999 | English
We first developed an actual HVAC experimental chamber including an air distribution system, an air handling unit, fan coil units, and control systems.
The IMAGE (IMplementation of Advanced Glazing in Europe) project was funded by the European Commission and involved glass manufactures, onsultants and research organisations (see acknowledgements).
