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…
There is increasing concern and awareness of the contribution of the built environment to global environmental problems such as the depletion of the ozone…
The layout of air-conditioning systems in building varies dramatically owing to the differences in conceptual design and the relationship between building…
The limited development potential of current building simulation programs has spurred the design of a new generation of tools: object oriented simulation…
Active and passive solar designs work on the basis of complex interactions of conduction, convection, radiation, mass flows, feedback and control mechanisms…
BC Hydro and their consultant have devised a method for aggregating hourly results from DOE2 computer energy models to simulate sector-wide impacts of…
A solar wall is a complex part of the building envelope, as it acts as an energy collector, passing solar energy from the exterior surface into the building…
Over the past decade developments in the building simulation field have given rise to the prospect of a new generation of design tool which has the…
This paper describes the recent, current and projected uses of building energy simulation software. Limitations of the currently available software are…
Starting from the basic governing equations for fluid flows, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is described. The pre-processing…
