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…
The SPARK simulation environment is an object based simulation environment. Its objects are equations or systems of equations. Creating SPARK objects…
This contribution contains the description of a design and evaluation system which is formulated for the early phases in the building design process. These…
We present the SYMBOL project which is based on a modular approach of modeling. The main objectives of this project is to develop a coherent set of modeling…
The efficacy of dynamic thermal simulation tools in practice is dependent not only on the facilities offered by the tools and the rigour of the underlying…
The technical systems of buildings have become increasingly complex during the last years. This has led to new challenges both in developing tools for…
