A simple approach for calculation of the electrical yield from building integrated PV (photovoltaic) systems has been implemented in BSim2002 - a program package for thermal simulation of energy and indoor climate conditions in buildings.
There is a growing need for more complex control of ventilation systems to satisfy energy and environmental issues. SIMBAD Toolbox (SIMulator of Buildings And Devices), developed in the SIMULINK graphical environment is a library of HVAC component
In the mid 1980s the monolithic nature of building energy simulation programs led to proposals for development of so-called "kernel systems," i.e., software environments that would make available to developers basic software modules and a supporti
Copious amounts of data are generated by contemporary building simulation (BS) programs and the translation of these data to information that may be acted upon is problematic.
This paper describes the development of a design tool for the calculation of the thermal energy potential of a so-called asphalt collector.
The paper presents the advanced use of S-Functions, facilitated by the Matlab/SimuLink environment.
This paper deals with neural networks modelling of HVAC systems. In order to increase the neural networks performances, a method based on sensitivity analysis is applied.
Computer simulation of thermal impact of air infiltration through multilayered exterior walls | 2003 | English
Convective air circulation occurring through wall layers is frequently observed in building envelopes.
This paper describes a simulation model for predicting end-use energy in residential sectors of a city or region.
A numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer in a room with the air-underfloor heating | 2003 | English
The current work presents features of an air-underfloor heating system and CFD model to predict velocity and temperature distribution. The paper describes the constructions of air-underfloor heat exchangers.
A study on the thermal response characteristics of the floor of hydronic floor heating systems | 2003 | English
Many studies have been performed on floor heating systems.
This paper describes a newly developed prototype of continuous commissioning tool that can be stand-alone or be embedded in a BEMS to continuously monitor a building’s HVAC systems performance and detect faults during operation phase. The componen
The low-flow solar water heater – from 7 litres/hour to 15 litres/hour per solar collector area – is the most promising way for improving the solar water heater performance.
A study on an estimation method of the effective opening area of entrance doors and winter airflow rate into atrium buildings | 2003 | English
This study develops a simplified estimation method for calculating the effective opening area of automatically operated entrance doors and the winter airflow rate into entrance halls due to the stack effect.
3d digital geometric reconstruction of the urban environment fot daylighting simulation studies | 2003 | English
In principal, the algorithms used in advanced lighting simulation software are equally applicable to interior and exterior situations [Ashdown 1994][Ward 1998]. In practice the scope is limited: a realistic CAD model of a building in a complex urb
This paper presents the development of a simulation tool based on the Matlab computational environment for building temperature performance analysis with automatic control.
The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate thermal storage performance of the storage medium embedded with metal fins and to prepare and accumulate design data.
This article presents a mathematical model that provides explicit support for preserving the consistency between decisions made at various points during building performance analysis. Analytical Target Cascading, a multilevel engineering design op
A pilot project for a low energy building equipped with thermal slabs, heat pump and ground heat storage | 2003 | English
During the last years much interest has been paid to Low Temperature Systems, i.e.
