The most effective way of establishing confidence in the ability of a simulation tool to model a particular component or system is to compare the…
The RADIANCE lighting simulation system was used to evaluate the daylighting inside four major buildings being constructed and refitted in New Zealand. This…
In this paper the availability of weather data in Australasia in terms of both hourly data for energy simulations and synthesized design day data for…
From a structural perspective, the question is whether temperature changes during the lifetime of a building are sufficient to affect its integrity. Changes…
An overview of the principles used to develop productive interfaces is presented, and afresh approach to the design and use of Simulation Systems is…
The aim of this paper is to describe the work currently under way at CSTB in the frame of the project 'Intelligent Sitnulation Environments'. The paper…
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has recently released two new programs, LightCAD and LightPAD, to enhance the design and application of…
The Simulation Problem Analysis Research Kernel (SPARK) environment for simulation of nonlinear differential algebraic systems has been revised to improve…
This paper discusses the creation of standard weather data files covering the whole of New Zealand. As part of this process we describe the development of a…
The conceptual theory and qualitative structure of a model for the evaluation of life safety in building fires is presented The model is based on a…
The simulation of temperature and pressure development in the ventilation systems of an offshore oil platform during the initial phase of afire has been…
The prediction of the effects of moisture in buildings is now a well established part of the building design process. A significant international effort is…
New object oriented simulation environments offer dramatically improved possibilities for simulation of coupled systems. In contrast to traditional building…
In this paper we elaborate on a general representation for robots in building construction, to simulate the robots' capabilities to operate within different…
The Energy Kernel System is an advanced machine environment intended to foster the collaborative development of the next generation of performance…
This paper describes the modelling and the experimental validation under ALLAN.TM Simulation software³ of a dwelling subjected to actual indoor and outdoor…
This study (*) has been developped in real site on gymnasium situated in the center of FRANCE which was experimented during two years. This building is…
Assessments of the applicability of equipment or the benefits of conservation measures within a buildingsector are frequent done using energy simulations of…
The simulation of daylighting performance requires some knowledge about prevailing sky conditions, especially luminance. Commonly the CIE standard models (…
A new method to simulate the daylight performance of fenestration systems and spaces is presented. This new method, named IDC (Integration of Directional…
