Differential time scale solutions for dynamic boundary conditions within whole-building energy simulation | 2007 | English
This paper presents a set of solutions to enable differential time scales for dynamic boundary conditions within whole-building energy simulation, specifically occupant behavioral adaptations in response to short-term changes in solar and dayligh
The following paper is focused on hygrothermal behaviour of roofs with ventilated air layers subjected to air leakages in their internal decks (the internal partial construction located below the ventilated air layer).
Simulation of heat flow from a line source in support of development of a thermal probe | 2007 | English
The use of a thermal probe allows a range of in-situ conditions to be taken into account that impact upon the properties of building materials (λ, α) as encountered in reality.
The Lifecycle Costing Simulation for Building Construction and Maintenance in nD Modelling | 2007 | English
The simulation of building efficiency and cost is a crucial driver to contemporary building design today. This paper presents the development of a software tool to simulate the lifecycle costs of building construction and maintenance.
Vision-based location sensing and self-updating information models for simulation-based building control strategies | 2007 | English

In this paper several kinds of window shading are introduced and compared.
Application of modeling and simulation in fault detection and diagnosis of HVAC systems | 2007 | English
Failures can lead to a series of problems in the complex heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) is an important technology to solve these problems.
It is difficult to model those complicated objects around buildings, which will obviously affect the flow patterns and temperatures of the outdoor environment. In this paper new method is concluded to solve this kind of modeling problems.
In some emergencies, such as fire or accidental release of chemical/biological agents in buildings, it is very useful to simulate the flow on real time or even faster than real time so that proper measures can be taken to minimize casualties.
In order to make sustainable single houses, it is very important to control the outdoor thermal environment. Therefore, various relaxation methods for the outdoor thermal environment are often planned, e.g.
Numerical analysis on the relationship between rate of outdoor air supply and total air age | 2007 | English
Air age is an important parameter to assess indoor air quality in ventilated rooms.
Discussion on grid size and computation domain in CFD simulation of pedestrian wind environment around buildings | 2007 | English
With the rapid development of computers and CFD, pedestrian level wind study using CFD has become important in engineering design in recent years.
Scientific studies have linked particulate matter with a series of significant health problems. In ventilation systems, indoor particle concentration and dust load on air duct surfaces are two concerns for human health.
Optimization of the positions of indoor contaminant sources and sinks by using a new conception-spatial flow influence factor | 2007 | English
A new concept, the spatial flow influence factor (SFIF), put forward by us in our previous paper, provides a new insight into the airflow structure.
A new simulation system for radiation calculation when opaque and half transparent objects exit together | 2007 | English
Here a generalized 3-D radiation simulation system is developed with Monte-Carlo and Gebhart method. There are two kinds of basic units in the system, which are surface unit for opaque objects and body unit for transparent objects respectively.
Three dimensional numerical investigations of wind environment around Lanqiying buildings | 2007 | English
The three-dimensional wind environment in Lanqiying community of Beijing city, which is complicated due to the dense distribution of the highrise buildings, is investigated by computational fluid dynamics method.
