Predicting human geometry-related factors for detailed radiation analysis in indoor spaces | 2003 | English
In this study, formulae for predicting projected area factors and view factors of individual body parts of standing and sedentary humans for detailed radiation analysis were developed.
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.
Numerical simulation on the prevention effect of the cold draft along the window in wintertime | 2003 | English
This study is aimed to contribute to energy saving and to achieve the indoor thermal comfort by preventing the down draft along the window in building with less heating energy than the common equipment, e.g. FCU.
Room air conditioners: determination of empirical corelations for predicting building energy consumption | 2003 | English
Two room air conditioners were modeled in order to predict the total cooling capacity, the sensible cooling capacity and the Energy Efficiency Ratio (E.E.R.) of each appliance.
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by urban structures.
This paper describes a performance-based evolution model using GA as the evolution algorithm and CFD as the evaluation mechanism.
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
Approximately 60 percent of the weight of all wastes in Germany originates from the building area. For construction activities usually non-renewable resources are used.
Enclosure systems design and control support via dynamic simulation-assisted optimization | 2003 | English
This paper presents a computational environment for performance-based integrated building enclosure de- sign and control support.
This paper demonstrates one step forward in the development of virtual laboratories that can be used for the development and test of HVAC control systems. While predefined parameters are used for standard tests, individual tests of c

Estimating performance of thermal displacement hvac systems using heat balance-based simulation programs | 2003 | English
This paper will address the shortcomings of typical heat balance-based HVAC design and analysis software when applied to thermal displacement ventilation (TDV) system design.
The design choice for any wall system must be integrated with some moisture engineering analysis.
Building energy simulation is playing an increasingly important role in building energy codes. This paper investigates the important underlying issues affecting the use of building energy simulation for enhancing building energy codes.
Condensation and mold problems have been identified as one of the severest IAQ problems in Japan.
Integration of control and building performance simulation software by run-time coupling | 2003 | English
This paper presents the background, approach and initial results of a project, which aims to achieve better integrated building and systems control modeling in building performance simulation by run- time coupling of distributed computer programs
