The paper describes the use of the theory of tolerances in thermal network models that are built as electric circuits. A principle of the method and main equations are given.
Application of data mining techniques for building simulation performance preditic analysis | 2003 | English
Simulation exercises covering long periods (e.g.. annual simulations) can produce large quantities of data.
Combined thermall measurement and simulation for the detailed analysis of four occupied low-energy buildings | 2003 | English
This paper describes four simulation models, which reproduce energy and temperature measurements of occupied buildings very well.
This paper is part of continuing research aimed at exploring the relationship between the amount of solar radiation received by a curved roof and its geometrical configurations.
Development of district energy system simulation model based on detailed energy demand | 2003 | English
This paper presents a district energy system simulation model in which the energy flow of a district is modeled as the sum of total energy flow in each building.
Validation is the key when attempting to instill confidence in a building simulation tool.
Automating the selection of fenestration system to best meet daylighting performance goals | 2003 | English

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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
