Employing local and global sensitivity analysis techniques to guide user interface development of energy certification and compliance software tools | 2013 | English
An occupant behavior model based on artificial intelligence for energy building simulation | 2013 | English
Occupants have influence on buildings performances due to their presence and their behavior towards in-door environmental conditions controls. However, most building energy models consider occupants in an over-simplified way.
Sensitivity analyses on the definition of wind driven natural ventilation potential | 2013 | English
The “cost-optimal levels” of energy performance requirements: rules and case study applications | 2013 | English
The European energy policies about climate and energy packages, known as the “20-20-20” targets, define ambitious, but achievable, national energy requirements.
Zero Energy Buildings in different climates: Design strategies, simulation and prognosis method for energy demand | 2013 | English
This paper presents helical heat exchangers for geothermal use.
Moisture infiltration in fractures and consequences on the hygrothermal performance of building facades | 2013 | English
Moisture transfer in porous construction materials car-ries many causes for their degradation: mould devel-opment and freeze-thaw damage are favoured by the accumulation of water, and chemicals such as chlo-ride ions and carbon dioxide may acceler
Development of a control-oriented model for borehole dynamics for buildings equipped with ground coupled heat pumps | 2013 | English
This paper proposes to apply the celebrated Proper Or-thogonal Decomposition (POD) approach in order to obtain a short-term control model for the temperature dynamics of the borehole system.
A two-step model to inversely identify a temporarily released pollutant source with two sensors | 2013 | English
This investigation proposed a two-step model to inversely identify release location and temporal rate profile of an indoor pollutant source in an arbitrary release form.
In the frame of a research project, the energy production for a residential unit including its mobility by micro-CHP was simulated in detail.
In-situ performance evaluation by simulation of a coupled air source heat pump/PV-T collector system | 2013 | English
Thermal coupling between a heat pump and a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV-T) collector is efficient for two reasons.
Hygrothermal properties (such as thermal conductivity, sorption isotherm, moisture diffusivity…) are required for all Heat, Air and Moisture transfer (HAM) models.
Prediction of indoor air quality in houses with concentration control- ventilation systems considering the concealed air leaks and dwellers opening behaviour | 2013 | English
In order to find an effective method to keep indoor air quality good through the year in real houses, a simulation program: Fresh was reformed to integrate several important factors in Japanese detached houses and named “Fresh2010”.
Mechanical cooling energy reduction for commercial buildings in hot climates: Effective use of external solar shading incorporating effects on daylight contribution | 2013 | English
This paper investigates the effectiveness of multiple external shading devices and identifies the most effective fixed external shading configurations for commercial building types in hot climates.
