Buoyancy driven flows have always been, and still are, difficult to model using CFD programs. Much validation work is required along with…
A directory of building energy software tools is now available on the web. The directory contains information on more than 100 tools ranging from…
This paper is concerned with the optimisation of some design criteria for water based active solar space heating systems intended for residential…
In this study, the thermal performance of the external envelope of existing residential buildings in Istanbul and energy efficient retrofitting of…
Within the framework of the validation methodology of our computer software CLIM2000, we asked 12 users to do the same validation exercise (…
The U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense (DOE and DOD) are jointly developing EnergyBase, a new building energy simulation tool that builds on…
The XCEED™ software tool allows engineers to create textual, mathematical and graphical descriptions of compressed air systems including, but not…
This is the first of two papers that describe the development of simulation methods for optimally controlled central plant equipment which have…
The purpose of this paper is to present a new method to energy analysis. The method consist three different phases: in the first phase the target…
The traditional round hut has been analysed by simulating the sensitivity of its different components in…
SOMBRERO, a PC-program running under the operating system WindowsTM, calculates the proportion of shaded area of an arbitrarily oriented …
This is the second of two papers that describe the development of simulation methods for optimally controlled central plant equipment in IBLAST…
This paper describes the methodology used in a simulation process that pretend to compare predicted and measured values. This process …
The need for a decrease in the energy consumption of buildings implies an adequate understanding of control strategies. This requires an intensive…
A series of linked spreadsheets has been developed for the analysis and modeling of thermal and daylighting effects on the flow of energy in …
General models for heat and mass transfer components have been developed for use in TRNSYS [1] thermal system simulations. These components remove…
The numerical model for verification of various radon protective measures has been developed. This model is based on the partial differencial…
A simplified heat transfer calculation method for underground buildings is developed. The method is based on the results from the ITPE method and…
The traditionally engineering-oriented approach to thermal building simulations tends to leave such analysis tools out of the reach of general design…
Modelling and simulation play a number of roles in engineering design studies. For Gaz de France, these studies must satisfy exacting criteria of…
