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

Detailed simulations of two hotels have been carried out, to determine whether CO2 emissions can be reduced by 50%.

Building physics processes in some parts and elements of revitalized historical buildings play an important role in their future energy efficiency and maintenance.

This paper presents simulation results of three hypothetic models, which aims to represent different design decisions concerning administrative buildings at UFRN Campus, Brazil.
