The combinations of parameter effecting optimum energy consumption and good open view for designing side-window of office buildings are proposed.
This paper is focused on a mathematical model applied to both building thermal analysis and control systems design. A lumped approach is used to model the room air temperature and a multi-layer model for the building envelope.
COMIS V3.1 simulation environment for multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling | 2001 | English
COMIS simulates multizone airflow and pollutant transport. It has been developed in an international context at LBNL and within IEA Annex 23.
Development of a collaborative design tool for structural analysis in an immersive virtual environment | 2001 | English
This paper contains the results of an on-going collaborative research effort by the departments of Architecture and Computer Science of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, U.S.A., to develop a computer visualization application fo
Daylighting in commercial buildings: the use of new components and design solutions to optimize visual comfort | 2001 | English
The use of daylighting in buildings can be an improvement when trying to enhance the environmental quality and the energy efficiency of them.
We describe a mathematical model applied to analysis of hygrothermal behavior of buildings.
Building simulation by application of a HVAC system considering the thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls | 2001 | English
This article introduces building simulation in conjunction with a HVAC system, especially a split system, considering thermal and moisture behaviors of the perimeter walls.
This paper argues that analytical approaches (i.e., simulation) and inductive learning methods (i.e., neural networks) can cooperate to facilitate a daylight responsive lighting control strategy.
Analyzing thermal performance of building envelope components using 2-D heat transfer tool with detailed radiation modeling | 2001 | English
THERM is a freely available, user-friendly twodimensional heat transfer model for analyzing the impacts of thermal bridges in building components such as windows and doors.
It is becoming a popular practice for architects and HVAC engineers to simulate airflows in and around buildings by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods in order to predict indoor and outdoor environments.
The lack of widespread use of building environmental design decision support tools in architecture appears to be because the tools are often too simplistic.
An observational study on thermal environment and energy conservation in an office building with modern conveniences | 2001 | English
In this paper we report the findings of a survey conducted to evaluate the energy-conservation performance of an office building some time after construction, and present the results of a simulation that was performed to identify possible improvem
This work presents the program SIMEDIF, a code conceived for the design and simulation of the thermal transient behavior of buildings, entirely developed at INENCO.
This work wants to provide the planners with a database of the typical mediterranean building structures.
Advanced building services simulation software providing design solutions in Dublin and Boston | 2001 | English
The paper uses the latest state of the art dynamic simulation software to analyse and present design information for building design engineers on current design questions in both Dublin and Boston.
A study on the accuracy of daylighting simulation pf heavily obstructed buildings in Hong Kong | 2001 | English
Hong Kong is the most densely populated city in the world. The Building Regulations of Hong Kong pre- scribe a minimum distance between buildings for light- ing and ventilation.
This paper presents the requirements of the building representation to supports the holistic performance assessment of building performance into a single application.
