Building simulation by application of a HVAC system considering the thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls | 2001 | English
Development and demonstration of a renewable of a renewable energy demand/supply decision profession | 2001 | English
Future cities are likely to be characterised by a greater level of renewable energy systems deployment.
Estimating relative humidity from outdoor air temperature and humidity, and indoor air temperature is a means to assess thermal comfort conditions when indoor relative humidity is not available.
CODYBA is a software addressed to designers, teachers and research organisms. This software determines the energetic fluxes of a building zone. The basic data are the zones geometry and constitution.
The energy efficiency of switchable (variable transmittance) windows having a control system based on occupancy, temperature and impinging solar radiation is evaluated.
Distributed web-based building performance computing: a Singapore-US collaborative effort | 2001 | English
This paper reports on the progress of the S2 project. This is an ongoing effort toward an Internet-based environment for distributed collaborative performance-based building design and evaluation.
Horizontal and vertical brises soleil are dominant elements in the modernist tropical architecture.
This paper describes the modelling and simulation work that was carried out to support the design team of the new "Indonesian Jungle" pavilion in Prague Zoo.
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has recently become the W3C Standard for commu nicating data over the Internet.
This paper deals with comparison between the CFD method and the zonal one, and also model experimental validation. The zonal method consists of a dwelling decomposition in several isothermal air zones, in contact with walls.
The paper is focused on the application of the simulation in the field of the space heating systems, based on the infrared radiant heaters. In the first part is preview of different sw packages.
Direct building energy simulation based on large Eddy techniques and Lattice Boltzmann methods | 2001 | English
The modeling of convective flows with 3D lattice Boltzmann fluid dynamics is presented using a lattice BGK approach for low Mach number flows with variable density combined with a large eddy turbulence model.
In object based models, conversion becomes necessary when there is a mismatch among the representations of same physical quantity at the ports of different objects that need to be connected.
Daylighting systems for the tropics example of laser cut panels (Austrália) and plexiglas daylight (Germany) | 2001 | English
In recent years several daylighting systems were developed. Due to a generally felt lack of daylight because of climatic conditions the development was mainly concentrated in Central Europe, Japan, the United States and Australia.
This paper describes the energy performance of an underground thermal energy storage system that consists of high efficiency heat pump and Borehole- Heat-Exchangers (BHE).
We present an advanced formulation of zonal models for calculating indoor air temperature and flow distributions in buildings. Our modeling is based on modularity:
Complex building performance analysis in early stages of design: a solution based on differential modeling, homology-based mapping, and generative design agents | 2001 | English
Computational performance-based building design support faces a conflict. It is important to provide building performance feed back to the designer as early as possible in the design process.
Development of a test reference year on limited data base for simulations on passive heating and cooling in Chile | 2001 | English
The application of building simulation for the thermal improvement of buildings in developing countries is limited by the scarcity of hourly climate data and test reference years.
This paper presents the results from the experimental and numerical study of a room with mixing ventilation, focused on the local mean age of air (LMA). The measurements were performed using the tracer gas concentration decay method.
Appying simplified simulation tools and techniques to the design of new commercial buildings | 2001 | English
Despite the potential benefits of improved energy efficiency and enhanced comfort for eventual occupants, most architects and engineers resist using computer simulation methods in the design of new buildings.
