Agent-based measuring, control and regulation techniques for hvac-system simulations | 2005 | English
In this paper we present an interactive software prototype for fluid flow problems in civil engineering including:
Matlab/Simulink is known in a large number of fields as a powerful and modern simulation tool. In the field of building and HVAC simulation its use is also increasing.
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) have been proposed to treat the outdoor air before it enters the building and thus reduce the load on the zone equipment.
The California Commercial End Use Survey (CEUS) project is being conducted for the California Energy Commission (CEC) by Itron, Inc. with support from KEMA-Xenergy, ADM Associates, and James J. Hirsch & Associates.
A step toward the global assessment of district projects:solar indicators and way to quantify them | 2005 | English
This paper deals with solar indicators and simulation as a step toward global assessment of a district.
A model-based method for the integration of naturalventilation in indoor climate systems operation | 2005 | English
This paper presents an in-situ calibrated model-based approach to treat natural ventilation as an integral element of the operation of the buildings' thermal systems.
An overview of an integrated building simulation tool -designer’s simulation toolkit (dest) | 2005 | English
In early 1980s, Tsinghua University has started to develop a new building simulation tool with the aims to benefit for teaching, research and practical use of HVAC related applications in China.
A simple method to incorporate thermal bridge effectsinto dynamic heat load calculation programs | 2005 | English
The aim of this study is to develop a simple method to predict heat flows and minimum surface temperatures in dynamic heat load calculation programs.
A method to verify calculation of transient heat conduction through multilayer building constructions | 2005 | English
Validation and verification of building simulation programs and load calculation programs is of continuing interest.
An evaluation of the hygrothermal performance of‘standard’ and ‘as built’ construction details using steady state and transient modelling | 2005 | English
Accurate assessment of both surface and interstitial condensation risk at the design stage of buildings is of great importance - not just to minimise the damaging effects moisture can cause to building envelopes, but also to contribute to the prov
A proposed method for generating,storing and managing large amounts of modelling data using scripts and on-line databases | 2005 | English
With computational analysis and simulation becoming an increasingly important part of the building design process, the complexities of dealing with the huge amount of data that this can produce can be overwhelming for many designers.
Tile coated wood fired appliances are designed to store heat from the intermittently burning fire in their massive structure and release it slowly to the room. The design of these systems should assure thermal comfort during the whole process and
Airflow modeling and fire smoke propagation in the new ecole polytechnique building | 2005 | English
This paper addresses the application of fire and smoke simulation and computational fluid dynamics tools to events taking place in the new engineering building on the campus of the University of Montreal.
A preliminary model of user behaviour regarding the manual control of windows in office buildings | 2005 | English
This paper presents the results of a field study of manual control of windows which has been carried out in 21 individual offices within the Fraunhofer Institute’s building in Freiburg, Germany, from July 2002 to July 2003.
Analysis of wind-driven flow and external convective heat transfer coefficients for the bestest model building | 2005 | English
Building energy analysis are very sensitive to external convection heat transfer coefficients so that some researchers have made sensitivity calculations and proved that depending on the choice of convective heat transfer coefficient values, energ
A study of the relationship between daylight performance and height difference of buildings in high density cities using computational simulation | 2005 | English | 6 pp
Daylight design for “extremely” obstructed urban environment is a relatively uncharted area of scholarship. The reason might be that the problem has not been critically important.
A monthly method for calculating energy performance in the context of european building regulations | 2005 | English
The European Energy Performance in Building Directive (EPBD) requires methods for the calculation of the energy performance for use in the context of building regulations.
Analysis and optimization of the thermal comfort of a non airconditioned16 000 m2 tent, with transient and cfd simulations | 2005 | English
The Haima is a non air-conditioned 16,000 m2 tent designed to house fifteen exhibitions about conditions for peace, viewed as solutions to economic, cultural and environmental conflict, during the Barcelona Forum 2004.
