The potential of comfort daylighting design on improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings | 2005 | English
This paper explores means for more effectively exploiting daylight in buildings through extending periods of illumination free of glare problems. The key concept is to quantify and examine the impact of selected design parameters, e.g.
Review and recommendations for improving the modelling of building integrated photovoltaic systems | 2005 | English
The models for photovoltaic (PV) systems currently in ESP-r prove very useful in estimating the electrical and thermal impact of building-integrated photovoltaics.
Specification of an IFC based intelligent graphical user interface to support building energy simulation | 2005 | English
Significant R&D work has been on going in the development of integrated software environments that support building energy simulation.
Thermal mass, insulation and ventilation in sustainable housing – an investigation across climate and occupancy | 2005 | English
Sustainable housing standards are reviewed including the UK 2005 building regulations, the UK Advanced Standard and EU Passive-house Standard. Conflicts between the standards are highlighted.
In this paper, the mathematical model of a HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) equipment is described.
The development of a test protocol for anon-line whole-building energy analysis tool for homeowners | 2005 | English
This paper presents the testing of a dynamic on-line whole-building energy calculator.
Traditional night cooling control strategies relies on the knowledge of the current situation – indoor and outdoor.
Qualitative analysis on the usefulness of perceptualization techniques in communicating building simulation outputs | 2005 | English
This paper complements a previous publication in the Building Simulation Conference series by identifying where perceptualization techniques can improve data presentation and assist with the interpretation of the underlying performance message.
Building design and control applications can benefit from daylight simulation. Currently, most daylight simulation applications work with simplified sky luminance models.
This paper presents an overview of the use of building simulation in a private consultancy in New Zealand. The current state of the industry is outlined before the specific practice is introduced.
Simulation of a model-based optimal controller for heatingsystems under realistic hypotheses | 2005 | English
An optimal controller for auxiliary heating of passive solar buildings and commercial buildings with high internal gains is tested in simulation.
Calculating the dynamic effects of surface overshadowing is a major part of most thermal analysis engines.
Two-phase application of multi-objective genetic algorithms in green building design | 2005 | English
This paper presents the application of multi-objective genetic algorithms for green building design to minimize two conflicting criteria: the life-cycle cost and the life-cycle environmental impact. Environmental impact categories considered in th
Modelling of hydrous and thermal transfers in tropicalclimates and buffering moisture with hygroscopic materials | 2005 | English
Controlling humidity to prevent moisture and condensation phenomena is a growing problem for building designers nowadays. Ventilation and air conditioning are common solutions to avoid mold and condensation.
Horizontal diffuse illuminance and direct illuminance were estimated by measured sky luminance distribution to investigate the consistency among global, diffuse and direct illuminance for a long-term IDMP data in Kyoto, Japan.
Inlet Boundary conditions for simulating flows in rooms impact of the ventilation system | 2005 | English
Among the tools which serve to predict heat and mass transfer in a mechanically ventilated room, the CPD is increasingly used .
This study is focused on the ground heat pump (GHP) used in heating single-family houses. These systems generate a ground heat depletion which decreases its performances after several years of operation.
