Parametric analysis of a solar dessicant cooling system using the simspark environment | 2005 | English
The thermal modelling of windows is often carried out at a high level of precision whilst irradiance anddaylight quantities are predicted using coarse approximations.
This paper gives an overview of recent developments and results of a new integrated heat, air and moisture (HAM) modeling toolkit in Matlab named HAMLab. The recent developments include integration of a whole building model with building systems a
Throughout its thirty year history, the transient energy simulation package TRNSYS has been under continual enhancement by an international group of developers and users.
Hygrothermal simulation of drying performance of typical north american building envelope | 2005 | English
Hygrothermal modeling of building envelope has received much attention and development in recent years; to increase its flexibility and accessibility is a consequential task.
Measurement of the thermal environment in urban canyons and prediction by CFD simulation | 2005 | English
We analyzed the thermal environment within Kyoto city using a numerical model that considers three elements: the unsteady-state heat conduction of building walls and ground surfaces, radiation heat exchange between walls and ground surfaces, and a
Active diffusing light pipes (such as hollow tubular lighting) are means of directing and diffusion light (daylight or electrical light) into interior spaces. The two principal objectives of this paper are : 1) to show the development of an advanc
Burn Intensive Care Units (ICU) have among the most stringent design criteria for patient rooms in hospital design.
A mathematical model applied to building hygrothermal behavior analysis is described in this paper. We have used a lumped approach to model the room air temperature and humidity and a multilayer model in finite volumes for the building envelope.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has evolved from an academic tool to an important commercial design tool over the past decades.
This paper deals specifically with analysis of the thermal, airflow and daylighting performance of the façade elements and in particular with the Double Skin Façade (DSF) applied to the south and southeast facing office spine of a laboratory build
In this paper, microscopic and macroscopic flow analyses have been employed to identify and analyze the causes of discrepancies of power law zonal models.
This paper investigates airflow in an office room with a displacement ventilation system parametrically using three-dimensional CFD.
Influence of component selecting size method of hydronic networks on global costs and comfort | 2005 | English
Modelling and assessment of ground-source heat pump systemsusing exergoeconomic analysis for building applications | 2005 | English
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are modelled, analyzed based on exergy, cost, energy and mass, and evaluated exergoeconomically.
The present paper investigates, both experimentally and by simulation, the influence of faulty VAV units that do not affect the zone temperature on total energy consumption of a VAV system.
From computer models to simple design tools:solar rights in the design of urban streets | 2005 | English
This work presents a simple design tool for the consideration of solar rights in urban design that was developed by the use of the computer model SustArc (Capeluto and Shaviv, 1997).
Communications between buildings and their occupants through multimodal Human Computer Interactions (HCI) can dramatically enhance the way buildings are experienced.
Whereas water can frequently come in contact with wood-based building envelope components, little work has tried to measure and model moisture uptake in orthotropic wood.
Building performance simulation tools have significantly improved in quality and depth of analysis capability over the past thirty-five years.
