In order to create a simulation model of a building, it is usually necessary to make a number of assumptions and/or approximations about the building being…
Commercial building owners and managers face a complex array of HvAc technology options. Economicanalysis of the options requires consideration of…
This paper summarizes the results of numerous building energy analysis and design tool evaluation exercises carried out under lEA Task VIII: Passive and…
In 1937, Congress created the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) to serve as transmission and distribution agent for electricity generated by the…
Today, the development of computer makes the accurate performance analysis of complex system by simulation available for most of the research community, and…
Mathematical models of various kinds are important in many disciplines. Unfortunately, it is often difficult and time-consuming to develop models. This…
In recent years. researchers, designers and contractors have begun to investigate the use of new technologies in building construction and operation.The…
This paper describes a design tool, 'Condensation Targeter', for assessing condensation risk in dwellings and the effect of remedial measures thereon. The…
This paper summarises the objectives and initial achievements of BEPAC, a recently formed club based in the UK which in many respects parallels the stated…
In order to assess the applicability of a more modular approach to the development of building thermal analysis programs, this paper begins with a review of…
Recently, the more accurate comparisons between the existing building behaviour and the simulations have shown that a more realistic model of the whole…
The most common use of building energy simulations, by far, is in the design of buildings, especially non-residential ones. It is a common perception that…
At the present time several powerful simulation models exist for the assessment of building environmental performance at the design stage. However when used…
