Optimization of airflow regimes, energy efficiency and air quality in surgical operation theatres | 2003 | English
Air infiltration through revolving doors may have significant impact on the heating load of commercial and institutional spaces, and may create discomfort to people. This paper modifies a 40-year old model by Schutrum et al.
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
Sim_Zonal a software to evaluate the risk of discomfort: coupling with an energy engine, comparison with CFD codes and experimental measurements | 2003 | English
The software Sim_Zonal is a tool for evaluating indoor temperature and air flow distributions for residential and office buildings.
Technical and economical interest of sustainable refurbishment technologies in France, Italy and Filand | 2003 | English
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.
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
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.
We consider a strictly three-dimensional modeling technique as a basis for numerical simulations. Applications range from
Method for simulated of the performance of air-conditioning systems serving interior building zones | 2003 | English
This article presents a simulation method for predicting the long-term energy performance of a central air-conditioning system serving interior zones of buildings with similar daily cooling load profiles.
DIAL-Europe is the final product of a three year European project that ended in March 2003.
The most dominant moisture-related problem in building materials is probably mold growth. It occurs as a result of relatively high moisture concentrations.
This paper is about new features which where added to TRNSYS15 (Beckman, 2000) to improve its capabilities. For system simulations with TRNSYS15 now 6 new component libraries are available.
New Dutch office buildings are built under strict energy efficient legislation and well equipped with insulation, condensing boilers, heat recovery systems, etc. Despite this, many buildings don’t perform as energy efficiently as expected.
A comfortable indoor climate environment is necessary for modern buildings and therefore the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems are widely used.
Environmental masterplanning is an increasingly vibrant area of research and development activity.
The paper is discussing problems of modelling of those elements in low-energy building design process.
This paper demonstrates an experience in the development of a design performance evaluation system that can frequently evaluate building design performance within the design process in a real-time manner.
In recent years major advances have been made in the development of computational tools for architects to facilitate building performance evaluation.
