This paper examines the application of simulation tools to daylighting and heating energy use in the context of what questions the designers wish to ask and…
This paper presents the application of geometric modeling and various performance simulation tools in architectural design, highlighting their respective…
If the information generated through building simulations is to reach and influence building and design professionals it is necessary to present it in an…
The heat conduction through the walls changes the heat load and its distribution in a room, and thus affects the air flow pattern in a buoyancy-controlled…
This paper addresses the development of a prototype system for energy building simulation by coupling commercially available CAD systems for architecture to…
Me design of a fuzzy rule-based controller for the mixing-box of an air-handling unit is used to demonstrate how data obtained by computer simulation can be…
The first purpose of our work has been to allow-as far as heat transfer modes, airflow calculation and meteorological data reconstitution are concerned-the…
There has been widespread concern over the high energy consumption and the often less-than-satisfactory environmental control performance of most air…
Thermal simulation programs for buildings have been available for many years. They vary from simple methods that can be performed at the sketch design stage…
A major case study of a high rise, city-centre of ce building in continental Europe was undertaken in a true commercial environment. Three dimensional…
In this paper we present computational experiments on the efficiency of partitioning of domains on the speed of simulation runs with an object-based solver…
This paper describes a number of issues which building modelling must take into account if it is! to he used as a tool in government policy making and…
As a result of the progression of computing power and the increasing demandsfor detailed thermal performance assessment users are shifting from simplified…
After a brief review of the development of thermal design tools world-wide, those available in Australia are considered and four are selected for validation…
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…
