In a building, energy consumption and user’s comfort are directly related to its thermal performance. In early stages of building design, architects do not…
The operation of an outdoor test site requires very substantial efforts with respect to investments, maintenance, calibration and training staff. The…
The thermal performance of a building depends on a number of building design parameters. Development of ‘energy efficient building concepts’ therefore…
The European Commission has expressed the wish to harmonize energy regulations in the building sector and at the same time has formulated goals for…
This work is based on an extended research from a doctorate thesis developed in a partnership between Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil…
In the framework of harmonisation of the Slovene legislation with the European, in 1995 the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning of the Republic of…
Solar shading devices can significantly improve thermal comfort and reduce cooling loads and potential glare problems in highly glazed buildings. This paper…
This paper discusses the status of standards and regulations concerning performance calculationmethods for renewable energies systems in the built…
In urban canyons reflected sunlight can play an important role in the illumination of buildings, particularly in orientations and during times of the day…
In order to improve the user acceptance of an automatic shading device controller, user wishes concerning the blind position are learned and integrated in…
DayMedia and MulCom are multimedia teaching packages targeted at architects and building engineers, as well as students. While DayMedia is concerned with…
In this paper, we use the validation test cases initialized within the subtask C, "Daylight design tools", of IEA SHC Task 21, "Daylight in buildings" to…
The EC funded ‘SmartHomes’ project commenced in 2001 as a 3 year programme. The primary objective is to establish Internet-based energy services and test…
In this paper we present a procedure to test software ability to describe daylight sources. The method will be applied to Lightscape release 3.2 [1]. The…
A common architectural feature of curtain wall facades is constituted by a transparent double-glazing unit mounted in front of a recessed interior metal…
The optical performance of redirecting daylight materials under given outdoor illumination conditions is characterized by mean of virtual goniophotometry,…
Spectral radiative properties of panel glass and coatings are measured, like transmittance and reflectance. The coating influence on the panel behavior is…
Various types of double façades can be distinguished. In earlier work a simple simulation model for the energy performance of double facades is developed.…
Advanced daylighting strategies and systems can considerably reduce a building’s electricity consumption and also significantly improve the quality of light…
People employed in building offices have new needs in terms of comfort at the working place. To satisfy these needs, it is necessary that architects check…
