This paper explores three significant software development requirements for making the transitionfrom standalone lighting simulation/analysis tools to…
This paper presents the concept of an "open" simulation environment for performance-driven designexploration as a multi-directional approach to computer-…
Air velocity and air temperature are, in large glazed spaces, very heterogeneous and time dependant. Indoor and outdoor thermal conditions, localized solar…
There is increasing interest in Europe in the use of displacement ventilation and chilled ceiling coolingsystems. A modelling methodology is presented here…
This paper describes an artificial neural network- (ANN) modeling approach forpredicting the energv anddemand savings resulting from energy conservation…
A new dynamic simulation model for buildings has been developed which emerges by itself as it receivesdata or signals from the building under consideration…
The studies presented here aim at defining and setting out a calculation code allowing the prediction of outdoor ambient thermal quality. Designers of urban…
Building performance evaluation requires accepted standards for comparison. Thermal comfort conditions are widely accepted. This is different for lighting…
A comprehensive simulation model, based on the TRNSYS program, for the evaluation of thermalstorage system behaviour in building climatization is presented…
This paper deals with the model validation methodology used at the Gaz de France Research & Development Division. The primary emphasis is on the latest…
In this paper we review the basic concepts of the Neutral Model Format for component description, of the SPARK objet-based simulation environment, and…
This paper deals with the problem of empirical validation of thermal performance computer programs. It begins with a brief review of a number of techniques…
Multizone airflow modelling is used for IAQ analysis as well as evaluation of cooling potential in buildings. A detailed evaluation of the wind pressure…
