For engineering applications one-dimensional models of urban ponds are suitable in order to assess the energy potential for heating and cooling of buildings.

The integration of techniques for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in building performance simulation (BPS) has a number of potential benefits  related to design.

The necessity of innovation on the field of renewable energy systems imposes on the industry to develop faster and faster new products or product assemblies while managing perfectly

Photovoltaic systems can reduce the CO2 emissions associated with the consumption of electricity in dwellings.

As part of the UK government Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) initiative, the requirement of Asset and Operational Ratings for buildings since 2008 meant that software packages have

The significance of interior humidity in attaining sus-tainable, durable, healthy and comfortable buildings is increasingly recognised.

The transfer of energy from the ground to buildings through slabs and basements has long been a point of large errors in simulations.

This paper describes the development of a web-based, code-compliant ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999 commercial simulation for Texas.
