Cfd modelling of fire suppression by water spray: sensitivity and validation for a pool fire in a room | 2003 | English
In 1998, MoD commissioned ANSYS CFX to develop a numerical procedure, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aimed at providing a practical tool which can be integrated into design processes in order to optimise lowpressure fine water spray
DElight is a simulation engine for daylight and electric lighting system analysis in buildings.
Assessing the dynamics of indoor natural illuminance in adavanced packages for building energy analysis | 2003 | English
Advanced packages for building energy analysis require simplified methods to reduce the computational time in assessing the indoor visual environment.
Building design and operation processes can be supported by many kinds of models, from traditional architectural scale models to computer-generated virtual buildings.
Development of an advanced computer tool, AUSSM TOOL, for a couplinf simulation with building thermal system and urban climatology | 2003 | English
The computer software AUSSSM TOOL, originating from the methodology of the revised-Architectural- Urban-Soil-Simultaneous Simulation Model (revised-AUSSSM), was developed by adopting the Graphical User Interface (GUI) features to support users, wh
An inquiry into the building performance simulation tools usage by architects in Austria | 2003 | English
This paper presents the results of an empirical study to establish if and to which extent professionals in design community are familiar with and use building performance simulation applications.
As part of the application of optimal control to smart façade systems (SFS) with motorized Venetian blinds inside the glass enclosed cavity, we investigate the rapid determination of daylighting quantity and quality obtainable from these systems.
Environmental design of buildings involves ‘finding the optimum’ solution satisfying predefined objective(s) (e.g., reduction in operating/capital cost, maximisation of daylighting etc.).
Comparison of simulated thermal loads of buildings erected at four different location in Cyprus | 2003 | English
Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its climate is characterised by abundant sunshine and by moderate to heavy winter conditions.
Development and sizing of a multicriterion facade element throught different luminous, thermal and airflow tools | 2003 | English
People that work in office buildings have new needs in terms of comfort within their work place. We suggest to develop a multicriteria office cell façade, allowing to control luminous, thermal and airflow parameters.
Conventional building control systems usually apply central control schemes that do not fully address individual occupancy differences in built environmental requirements.
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.
