Simulation on energy performance of air-conditioning system assisted with thermosyphon used in telecommunication base station | 2013 | English
Spaces with high heat generation such as telecommunication base stations (TBS) increase sharply recently. Huge energy is consumed for air-conditioning because of large indoor heat rejection and year round cooling in these spaces.
Implications of climate change and occupant behaviour on future energy demand in a zero carbon house | 2013 | English
The Birmingham Zero Carbon House is a retrofitted Victorian house that has achieved carbon negative performance.!
Impacts of control strategies on light and heavy radiant floors in low energy buildings by Modelica simulation | 2013 | English
The decrease of heat demand in low energy build-ings, very sensitive to solar and internal gains, and the development of new HVAC systems call for a reexam-ination of the usual modeling approaches in building simulation.
An innovative workflow for bridging the gap between design and environmental analysis | 2013 | English
This paper describes the use of optical recognition technologies to augment the physical design space and its aesthetic drivers with a myriad of design performance variables available through advanced environmental analysis simulations to create a
Evaluation of thermal comfort conditions in community center in Pelotas, RS: simulation of changes in windows characteristics | 2013 | English
This paper evaluates the influence of windows in thermal energy performance of a social interest bulding in Dunas District - Pelotas/RS, analizing the performance for heating and cooling over the year. The original design was modeled and analized
The optimal building management models require predicting the behaviour of building systems. To achieve this goal, we propose to make available on the web remote computing services for the composition, simulation and optimization of equipments.
Use of net zero energy solution sets for the redesign of the reunion island ENERPOS building in Christchurch | 2013 | English

Development of virtual natural lighting solutions with a simplified view using lighting simulation | 2013 | English
Computational building performance simulation can be employed to develop various future solutions.
Evaluation of the thermal environment around the human body in a solar radiation environment study of coupled analysis of cfd and thermoregulation models | 2013 | English
Study on load prediction with operation data for control of thermally activated building system | 2013 | English
A type of a radiant system that uses the building concrete structure as energy storage, Thermally Activated Building System, is an energy efficient system, which utilizes the time-delay effect.
Probabilistic approach to determination of internal heat gains in office building for peak load calculations | 2013 | English
We propose a methodology for determining internal heat gains in workspace for peak cooling/heating load calculations. First, we collected measurement data of the lighting and plug loads in workspaces in Japan and analyzed these data.
Design changes for energy efficiency of solar decathlon house in Brazil: a case study “ekò house” | 2013 | English
In September 2012 the contest Solar Decathlon was held in Madrid, for the second time. One Brazilian team with its own project called the “Ekó House” was there, too.
