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.
Since buildings have a predominant impact on the global climate change and other environmental issues, it has become necessary to consider environmental performance in building design.
Skyvision: a software tool to calculate the optical characteristics and daylighting performance of skylights | 2003 | English
Skylights can offer useful benefits in reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants satisfaction.
This paper describes modelling and simulation of a space with radiant cooling ceiling (CC). The computer model represents a test chamber, which is located in a laboratory of the Department of Environmental Engineering in Prague.
Preliminary study on an estimation method for annual solar irradiance at varius geographial altutudes | 2003 | English
A preliminary investigation is made into the global variation in irradiance under the Clear, the Intermediate (partly cloudy) and the Overcast sky conditions (Nakamura et. al., 1986, 1987).
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America.
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.
This paper draws the attention to the importance of a correct modelling of the inlet temperature of naturally and mechanically ventilated multiple-skin facades.
Shape factor calculation and visualization for the influence of the thermal enviroment on the human body | 2003 | English
The purpose of this paper is to explain the indoor thermal radiation environment of the human body in detail. Using a 3-D human body model, shape factor calculations between a human body and surroundings are executed.
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the process of heating a room with a low-temperature radiant heating system and solar energy, considering energy conversion and heat transfer steps in the building (where heat is required), in the
Interoperable software makes it possible to seamlessly exchange data among different compliant applications.
We define building systems as systems that not only consist of the load bearing building structure and its environment, the service systems (installations), and the control systems, but also include building usage and users.
Different approaches for the simulation of an experimental building hosting a climate chamber devoted to artificial fog production | 2003 | English
In the context of a european project dealing with the issue of transport safety improvement in fog conditions, an experimental building has been constructed on the FUL campus, in the southern part of Belgium.
Energy balance study of water ponds and its influence on building energy consuption | 2003 | English
This study investigates the energy exchanges occurring in the volume and on the surface of water ponds and their influence on energy consumption of building.
This paper explores the integration of an algorithm for the simulation of ground-source heat pump systems into a whole-building energy analysis program. GS2000™ is a software program released in 1995 for the sizing of ground source heat pump groun
Integration of CAAD, thermal building simulation and CFD by using the IFC data exchange format | 2003 | English
This paper describes the results of a German research project, where a CAAD-program (Computer Architectural Aided Design) was integrated with two energetic building simulation programs to a software package for calculating and optimising the energ
Evaluation of a parametric model and building simualtion for design of passive coolingby night ventilated | 2003 | English
At the new institute building of Fraunhofer ISE, both mechanical and free night ventilation is used for passive cooling of the offices.
Impact of determination of convective heat transfer on the coupled energy and CFD simulation for buildings | 2003 | English
The integration of building Energy Simulation (ES) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs eliminates many assumptions employed in the separate simulations, resulting in more accurate predictions of building performance.
The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has established a standard for defining interchangeable data formats among various computer models in Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) domains.
