Use and evaluation of the ENVI-met model for two different urban forms in cairo, Egypt: measurements and model simulations | 2013 | English
Early design phase evaluation of urban solar potential: insights from the analysis of six projects | 2013 | English
This paper presents the outcome of a study based on the early-stage analysis of six virtual urban-scale de-signs located in Bern, Switzerland.
Analysis and optimisation of retrofit and energy supply strategy across a diverse urban building portfolio | 2013 | English
This paper presents a study in support of decision mak-ing for building retrofit and energy supply strategy at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in southwest Lon-don, England.
Enhancing indoor comfort in existing apartment buildings in athens using natural ventilation | 2013 | English
Computer simulation and field studies were conducted to investigate the implementation of natural cooling strategies in existing apartment buildings in Athens; the most typical urban domestic building type of Greece.
With more frequent problems of reflected daylight from building envelopes, it is important to assess the influence of a building envelope design in terms of reflected daylight at early stage.
The effect of the interaction between suboptimal input data and building features on the simulation results | 2013 | English
Dynamic energy simulation has the potential to provide relevant information about building energy behavior. However detailed models require an increased number of input data, which sometimes can undermine the accuracy of the simulation outcomes.
Optimal performance of air/air thermoelectric heat pump(THP) coupled to energy-efficient buildings coupling in different climate conditions | 2013 | English
Development of a generic and scalable modelica based model of a typical french railway station building | 2013 | English
This paper presents the energy modeling and simulation of a railway station building through thermal and electrical loads calculations.
Representation of weather conditions in building performance simulation: a case study of microclimatic variance in central Europe | 2013 | English
Summer thermal comfort in typical French residential buildings: impact assessment of building envelope insulation enhancement | 2013 | English
New French construction programs must deal from 2013 with strongest regulation requirements intended to reduce building energy consumption : Thermal Regulation 2012.
Integration of a green envelope model in a transient building simulation program and experimental comparison | 2013 | English
Green roofs and green walls have several benefits on buildings and cities. They are most often used for water management and for the aesthetical value they provide to the urban environment.
Hygrothermal behaviour of a hemp concrete wall: comparison between experimental and numerical results | 2013 | English
The analysis of the hygrothermal behaviour of green building materials is investigated in this work. For this, a 1D heat, air and moisture transfer model was developed using Comsol Multiphysics® and applied to a hemp concrete wall.
Application of the air-conditioning system energy simulation for commissioning (ACSES/CX) tool to HVAC system commissioning- Part 1: Explanation of ACSES/Cx and Application to Design Stage Commissioning of a Large Heat Source Plant | 2013 | English
Commonly provided HVAC system simulation tools are not necessarily satisfactory for the investigation of operational improvement and renovation planning because the effectiveness of using a large amount of measurement data accumulated in a Buildin
Improving the performance of a whole-building energy modeling tool by using post-occupancy measured data | 2013 | English
Energy performance of a university building is mod-eled and compared to the actual measured perfor-mance of the building. Two energy models are devel-oped in this work: design model and as-built model.
Transient thermal and aerodynamic modeling of pitched roof: evaluation of the potential of energy recovery in the air layer for heating purposes | 2013 | English
This investigation studied an adjoint method to achieve the optimal design of ventilation in enclosed environment and validated it by two-dimensional cases.
