Modeling as an accurate indicator of exemplary building performance - Three Australian case studies | 2013 | English
Design and recommendations for decentralized solar district heating systems in France | 2013 | English
The development of solar district heating is experiencing a booming.
We present a transient coupled thermal and electrical model of BIPV systems installed on rooftops and naturally ventilated through air cavities imposed by building conception rule (ventilation of skeleton).
Dynamic daylighting simulations from static high dynamic range imagery using extrapolation and daylight coefficient methodologies | 2013 | English
This paper describes the development of a technique for extrapolation of dynamic daylighting simulations from a limited number of high dynamic range photographs.
Numerical investigation of natural convection in an asymmetrically heated inclined channel-chimney systems importance of the choice of artificial inlet-outlet boundary conditions | 2013 | English
The present paper is concerned with the results of the numerical investigation of unsteady laminar, natural convection in an asymmetrically heated inclined open channel (i =0, 45, 60 and 75◦) with walls at uniform heat flux (qw = 10, 50, 75 and 100
Building simulation and evolutionary optimization in the conceptual design of a high-performance office building | 2013 | English
This paper outlines a digital design and simulation-based process conceived and tested, for the automation of environmentally responsive building ‘forms’, optimized for Energy and Lighting performance.
Optimisation methodology for the design of solar shading for thermal and visual comfort in tropical climates | 2013 | English
The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology using simulation to help optimising the design of passive buildings through a comfort approach.
The aim of this study is to evaluate a simplified parameter to characterize green roofs summer dynamic thermal performance through a mathematical approach. The inside face surface conduction in a green roof component is calculated through the Fast
Most building energy consumption dashboards provide a snapshot of building performance; others provide detailed historical data for comparison to current usage.
Integration of lighting performance indicators into a dashboard for daylighting assessments | 2013 | English
The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated graph able to communicate to the designer -which is not specialist in lighting- a rating of the different indicators having significance when evaluating the daylighting conditions within a spa
In the future building design must progress to a format where CO2 neutral societies are optimized as a whole and innovative technologies integrated. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the problems using a simplified design tool to simulat
This paper presents a method to analyse the impact of current refurbishment settings. Performance indicators are computed through multiple physical simulations.
Atmospheres: proof of concept for web-based 3D energy modeling for designers with WebGL/HTML5 and modern event driven, asynchronous server systems | 2013 | English
This paper describes a prototype of a web-based 3D design and energy modeling platform called “Atmospheres”.
