Mixed-Mode ventilation is an innovative approach that maximizes the use of natural ventilation and uses supplementary mechanical cooling only when strictly required.

This paper describes the modelling and analysis of a 5 MW chilled water plant used for the cooling of a recently constructed data centre in the UK.

To improve the energy performance of a district heating and cooling (DHC) plant, the expected performance of the plant was studied using simulations based on mathematical models.

Orthonormal Basis Functions (OBF) is a structure of dynamic models that have been applied in different classes of dynamic systems.

This paper presents an overview of the recently completed International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Task 34 and Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems Annex 43 (IEA 34/4

This paper focuses on the environmental impacts assessment module recently implemented in an energy balance tool. It describes the data and the methodology used to evaluate these impacts.

In building simulation tools differential equations are widely used to model physical phenomena of components such as walls, air and any kind of system component in the building.

With the advent of the concepts of efficient energy use   focus   has   shifted   towards   buildings   becoming  more air tight and having lower levels of ventil
