A methodology for micro-level building thermal analysis: combining CFD experimental Set-ups | 2001 | English
Physical and computational simulations have been combined within a unique framework for the aim of establishing a methodology for micro-level building thermal analysis.
Application of the state-of-the-art computer simulation and visualization in architectural lighting research | 2001 | English
The paper discusses the technical features of the physically based computer simulation/visualization techniques for architectural lighting research. Potentials and limitations are evaluated in terms of input, algorithms, output, and analysis tools
A strategy to provide computacional support for the selection of energy saving building components | 2001 | English
This paper describes a strategy to provide computational support for the selection of energy saving building components.
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.
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.
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.
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
The lack of widespread use of building environmental design decision support tools in architecture appears to be because the tools are often too simplistic.
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.
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.
This work wants to provide the planners with a database of the typical mediterranean building structures.
