Development of a solar radiation and BIPV design tool as EnergyPlus plugin for Google SketchUp | 2009 | English
This paper describes the development of a BIPV design tool that integrates the building and PV simulation capabilities of EnergyPlus building performance simulation software and Google SketchUp 3D drafting software.
For the upcoming release of TRNSYS 17, one main focus is the improvement of the simulation of highly glazed large spaces such as multi-story atriums with respect to accuracy, user effort and error-proneness.
Experiences testing enhanced building performance simulation prototypes on potential user group | 2009 | English
Previous work involving literature review, simulation tool analysis and interviews with world leading building performance consulting engineers and designers has shown that building performance simulation (BPS) is mostly limited to code compliance
ROOM is a dynamic thermal simulation model that has been continuously developed at Arup over the last 30 years. It remains one of the principal tools used for thermal modelling within Arup.
Simulation of energy systems and associated thermodynamic domains is very powerful in delivering precise information at high resolution.
As with all large software projects, the support demands of a diverse community of a simulation tool exceeds the means of supply. Interested parties may be users (from novices to experts), support staff (e.g.
This paper seeks to highlight the recent developments in TRNSYS including the introduction of a three-dimensional geometrical building model and interface, improvements in the TRNSYS simulation engine to facilitate the creation of user-written com
Review and comparison of data visualization techniques used in building design and in building simulation | 2009 | English
This paper will present a review, for a range of building design and performance issues, of the visualization language used in building design and in building simulation, and identify the overlaps and divergences in their use.
Many building related products and systems such as insulation, solar shading, reflective roof coverings have an important impact on the energy performance of the building where it is installed.
The use of CFD applied to studies of ventilation in urban areas in Campinas, Brazil | 2009 | English
The aim of this work is to discuss the effect of urban block and lot design in natural ventilation of self built houses in the city of Campinas, Brazil.
Courthouse energy evaluation: BIM and simulation model interoperability in concept design | 2009 | English
This paper presents the development of an automated energy analysis for GSA and the results of a case study comparing two courthouse design options in the Preliminary Concept Design stage.
Numerical simulation on transient accessibility of supply air and contaminant source in ventilated room | 2009 | English
The transient accessibility of supply air (TASA) and transient accessibility of contaminant source (TACS) in ventilated rooms are important indices to evaluate the effect of ventilation and the indoor air quality (IAQ).
Analysis of the energy performance of earth-sheltered houses with southern elevation exposed | 2009 | English
In the article the authors present the results of heating and cooling energy usage of earth-sheltered houses with exposed southern elevations. The results were then compared to a conventional above-ground building.
Simulation of a large central cooling and heating plant using TRNSYS and calibration with monitored data | 2009 | English
This paper presents the development of a model, using TRNSYS, of a large central cooling and heating plant. The model includes the chillers, cooling towers and pumps of the chilled water loop, and the heat recovery system from the chillers.
Numerical evaluation of energy consumption and indoor environment in subway island platform with DCV system | 2009 | English
This paper established a demand control ventilation (DCV) strategy for subway platform. Firstly, steady-state CFD simulation was carried out to predict the space CO2 distribution in the platform.
