Use of simulation the design of a large naturally ventilated commercial office building | 2003 | English
This paper presents a simulation study employed for the optimization of the building envelope for a new university building located in Montreal (latitude 450N).
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
Radiant heating and cooling, including building component embedded systems, have become a common heating and/or cooling technology in the recent few years.
This article presents a one-dimensional model of spray vaporization that can be easily used in thermal performance simulations of buildings.
The aim of the presented work is to refine the ESP-r system by incorporating phase change materials (PCM) modelling. The behaviour of PCMs is modelled using ESP-r’s special materials facility.
Simulation and evaluation of markets for building cooling heating and power applications in the U.S. | 2003 | English
A two-level analysis was used to study the economic potential of implementing Building Cooling, Heating and Power (BCHP) technologies in the U.S.
The lightswich wizard: reliable daylight simulations for initial design investigation | 2003 | English
A web-based, non-expert daylighting analysis tool has been developed to support daylighting-related design decisions in peripheral private offices during an early design stage.
A study by Reinhart and Herkel showed term predictions of daylight availability in architectural spaces should take the conditions of all individual time steps into account.
The international building physics toolbox (IBPT) is a software library specially constructed for HAM system analysis in building physics.
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by urban structures.
Modelling and simulation of physical ambient factors: noise and wind in tropical climate - contribution to optimized urban forms | 2003 | English
In tropical humid climate, thermal environment can be controlled using natural ventilation.
A computer-model is used to simulate the evacuation of the occupants in a building.
Embedded generation has been described as a “paradigm shift” in the way in which electricity is produced, with the focus of power production shifting away from large centralised generation plants to production of heat and power close
Optimization of airflow regimes, energy efficiency and air quality in surgical operation theatres | 2003 | English
The present paper addresses and fosters the factors that affect airflow movement and energy efficiencies in the surgical operating theatres.
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
The rapidly developing Internet broadband network offers new opportunities for deploying a range of energy, environment and health-related services for people in their homes and workplaces.
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.
Scythe and sew: a tool for creating and analysing meaningful patterns of lighting simulation data | 2003 | English
This paper presents "Scythe and Sew", a software environment for analyzing lighting simulation data. It provides a spreadsheet like infrastructure for manipulating high-dimensional simulation results.
Simspark: an object-oriented enviroment to predict cuoped heat and mass transfers in building | 2003 | English
The non-uniform behavior of the air inside a room, which is important in comfort analysis, can be evaluated by zonal models.
