Impact of the atmospheric boundary layer profile on the ventilation of a cubic building with two large oppositeopenings | 2005 | English
The paper describes a research project which addresses the problem of supervisory control of systems which include a range of heat sources combined with active and passive thermal storage. The work is based around a prototype building which has a
This paper presents the results of a comparison between measurements of a co-heating test in a passive house and the simulated response of the building to the same outdoor conditions calculated with the building simulation program Trnsys. Special
An efficient urban energy system could be a highly diverse and well-integrated structure of buildings and systems.
This paper presents first steps of a methodology for calibration of building simulation models through definition of the parameters that most affect the main electric end-uses of a building.
This paper presents CFD simulations of natural displacement ventilation airflows in which the buoyancy force produced by a heat source is opposed by a wind force.
This paper describes the design and simulation of a hybrid ventilation system for a recently constructed circus building in Montreal. The HVAC system draws fresh air through two underground ducts which are used for preheating or precooling.
Energy and financial performance of micro-chp in connection with high-performance buildings | 2005 | English
This paper deals with the issue of using micro- Combined Heating and Power plants (mCHP) in high-performance houses in terms of energy conservation and cost savings.
Comparison of candidate materials for seasonal storage of solar heat through dynamic simulation of building and renewable energy system | 2005 | English
In a survey recently conducted by ECN and the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands [Visscher, Oonk et al, 2004]), several potential thermo chemical materials (TCM's) for seasonal storage of solar heat were determined.
Development of archetypes of building characteristc slibraries for simplified energy use evaluation of houses | 2005 | English
For a quick and reliable energy evaluation of houses, one needs simple energy analysis software.
Building effectiveness communication ratios for improved building life cycle management | 2005 | English
Many existing building energy performance assessment frameworks, quantifying and categorising buildings post occupancy, offer limited feedback on design decisions.
Past research of predictive optimal control of active and passive building thermal storage inventory has confirmed the importance of accuracy in the employed building model.
Daylighting Simulation is a complex task, involving many parameters, but an important step to design buildings, especially when the main purpose is more comfort and energy conservation.
It is well recognised that validation of dynamic building simulation programs is a long-term complex task.
Previous simulations predict the possibility of reducing cooling demands in office buildings in hot arid areas if a selective double skin facade is used. The reductions on cooling loads in rooms range between 19%-40% depending on the glazing therm
Development of a modular toolbox in simulink for dynamic simulations of VOC-concentration in indoor air | 2005 | English
Presence of volatile organic compounds in indoor air affects human health.
Assessing the total energy impact of occupant behavioural response to manual and automated lighting systems | 2005 | English
Behavioural models derived from on-going field studies can provide the basis for predicting personal action taken to adjust lighting levels or remedy direct glare in response to physical conditions. SHOCC, a sub-hourly occupancy-based control mode
Calculation of the heating and cooling load of buildings using a sky radiance distribution model | 2005 | English
We present a model for calculating the sky radiation values considering the sky radiance distribution for a simulated building.
Computer simulation of evaporative cooling of buildings by water spray vaporization | 2005 | English
This paper presents the performance of a computer simulation code for modelling the evaporative cooling of buidings by water spray vaporization, bring together the scales of the droplet, spray and building.
This paper describes a case study to estimate the time and effort needed by novice designers to computationally evaluate the performance of building designs.
