The purpose of this study is to quantify the impact of insulation of various parts of building envelopes on building energy consumption.

Schumann solution for the heating (cooling) of onedimensional packed beds by the passage of a hot (cool) fluid is extended by the incorporation of a small solid thermal conductivity

Climate Modelling is a complex task. One of the most important reasons is the presence of a large variety of spatio-temporal scales.

ESP-r is a powerful tool for simulating building environments and their various mechanical and electrical systems. It has potential for investigating and optimising the thermal perfo

Based on almost seven years of continuous measurements we have analysed in detail the influence of occupancy patterns, indoor temperature and outdoor climate parameters (temperature,

This paper addresses the potential of the simulation assisted operation of devices for natural ventilation. Toward this end, a control scheme was conceived as follows: at specific po

The user’s action is a decisive factor in the energy performance of a building.

As most building energy simulation programs focus on the thermal response of the building, the relative humidity of the indoor air is often calculated in a simplified way.
