Volume content
Operational performance and calibrated model analysis of a large low-energy university building | 2013 | English
Quantitative comparison of massive walls thermal response among commercial software | 2013 | English
Simulating heat conduction in massive walls with commercial software is reported to cause numerical instability or reduced accuracy.
Time-lapse photography and image recognition to monitor occupant-controlled shade patterns: analysis and results | 2013 | English
This paper presents a high-level overview of a methodology for analysing window shade use in existing buildings.
Domestic heating systems often work with too high supply temperatures. This means that heat genera-tors and especially heat pumps work with a lower effi-ciency than possible.
Traditional building simulation tools have achieved considerable success in the past. They provide the essential foundation for modeling highly sophisti-cated tasks.
A carbon impact simulation-based framework for land use planning and non-motorized travel behaviour interactions | 2013 | English
Development and calibration of a reduced-order energy performance model for a mixed-use building | 2013 | English
An inverse model with uncertainty quantification to estimate the energy performance of an office building | 2013 | English
To design and evaluate advanced controls for build-ings , building system models that can show detailed dynamics of feedback control loops are required.
Implications of the uncoupling of building and HVAC simulation in the presence of parameter uncertainties | 2013 | English
Dynamic daylight simulation and visual comfort survey in Mediterranean climate. Case study in office building | 2013 | English
This work shows a particular study in a single office in Barcelona, with an exterior Sud-East façade. Daylight simulations are made with DAYSIM (2010), dynamic validated software based on RADIANCE (1990-2002).
UMI - an urban simulation environment for building energy use, daylighting and walkability | 2013 | English
One widely recognized opportunity to reduce global carbon emissions is to make urban neighborhoods more resource efficient.
Simulation of energy conservation measures and its implications on a combined heat and power district heating system: a case study | 2013 | English
In this study a methodology for simulating large-scale energy systems is described.
Occupant-proof buildings: can we design buildings that are robust against occupant behaviour? | 2013 | English
Uncertainty from occupant-related matters is typically shrugged off by building designers as beyond their control.
