The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient use of energy in the retrofitting of social housing buildings.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is increasingly being used to predict the effects of wind on buildings and on the people in and around them.
Modelling a reversible ventilated window for simulation within Esp-r the solvent case | 2003 | English
Whole building simulation may play a key role in the optimization and assessment of the market potential of new building components.
Prediction of the effect of breaking window in a double skin façade as a result of fire | 2003 | English
It is necessary for fire safety that in case of a flash-over situation, the windows in the outer skin would break very fast and before the windows in the inner façade would break, so that the model of Law is valid in which case the NEN 6068 could
We consider a strictly three-dimensional modeling technique as a basis for numerical simulations. Applications range from
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems.
Scythe and sew: a tool for creating and analysing meaningful patterns of lighting simulation data | 2003 | English

Skylights can offer useful benefits in reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants satisfaction.
The hygrothermal behavior of rooms: combining thermal building simulation and hygrothermal envelope calculation | 2003 | English
The hygrothermal behavior of a building component exposed to weather is an important aspect of the overall performance of a building.
The evaluation of shading devices is generally carried out using a sequence of shadow pattern images showing the progression of solar penetration for particular times of the day or year.
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America.
Numerical simulation of buildings thermal behavior and human thermal comfort multi-node models | 2003 | English
In this work two numerical models are presented. The first one simulates the buildings thermal response and evaluates the internal air quality, while the second one simulates the human and clothing thermal systems and calculates the thermal comfor
The validation and development of turbulence models are still important issues related to Computa- tional Fluid Dynamics for ventilation purposes. The present work continues the work initiated by (Voigt, 2002).
