A simulation assessment of the height of light shelves to enhance daylighting quality in tropical office buildings under overcast sky conditions in Dhaka, Bangladesh | 2009 | English
This article aims to discuss the results of the EnergyPlus daylighting module – Detailed.
The purpose of this paper is to find the efficiency of window shades regarding building energy performance and explore the possibility of developing a model that enables users to find proper shades for their specific conditions. The paper investig
The purpose of this study is to determine appropriate daylighting devices for office buildings in the city of New Delhi, India.
The impact of glazing selection on daylighting and energy performance for an office building in Canberra | 2009 | English
An analysis is presented of the impact of glazing selection on building performance and daylight levels for a small office building designed to be built in Canberra, Australia.
Integrated building energy and lighting simulation in the framework of EU PV–Light project | 2009 | English
In the paper we describe an integrated building lighting and thermal simulation activities carried out in the support of EU PV-Light Project.
Blind systems have been introduced to provide visual and thermal comfort, as well as to reduce energy use in buildings.
Shading device, window to wall ratio, window height, and glazing are important factors in determining building energy consumption in the tropics.
Influences of lighting control and natural ventilation on energy use and overheating for a day-lit industrial building | 2009 | English
Overheating in buildings not only causes discomfort to the occupiers but – if it occurs regularly or over a sustained period – also leads to pressure for the installation of mechanical cooling.
Field summer performance of interior reflective screen shades for residential windows | 2009 | English
Recent statistics published by Natural Resources Canada estimates that the energy demand for heating and cooling accounts for about 60% of the total energy use of an average Canadian home.
Coupling of TRNSYS with Simulink – a method to automatically export and use TRNSYS models within Simulink and vice versa | 2009 | English
A large variety of simulation environments exists for building and system simulation.
In a recent building simulation project, the significant effort required to calculate and enter casual gains and air flow data into the ESP-r modelling software was found to impede progress and increase the risk of error.
This paper presents a simple tool (in the form of nomograms) for the preliminary design of solar gains of a window shaded with a horizontal overhang.
Computational simulation of indoors temperature field: comparative study between the application of short and long wind-catch | 2009 | English
Aiming to study the temperature field changes, the House VI project was checked. This house is located in Vila37, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a dead-end small street with only one inlet/outlet.
The dynamic building simulation software IDA Indoor Climate and Energy v.
Development of a simulation tool for calculating maximum allowable cooling time in closed type cooling tower | 2009 | English
In winter, when the external air temperature is below zero, there is a risk of damage to coils in a closed type cooling tower due to freezing of cooling water.
Application of the three-dimensional Numerical Generation of Response Factors (NGRF) method of multi-year based conductive temperatures in soil and passive cooling earth contact components | 2009 | English
The presented paper reports on the application of a method for the numerical prediction of temperatures within and around structural passive cooling components.
In building simulation tools differential equations are widely used to model physical phenomena of components such as walls, air and any kind of system component in the building.
Computational aspects of modeling different strategies for kitchen ventilation: a comparison between the multi-zone approach and CFD modelling with reference to predicted indoor pollutant concentrations | 2009 | English
This paper deals with the evaluation of different simulation approaches to kitchen ventilation modelling. Multi-zone, CFD and zonal approach are discussed.
