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…
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…
This paper explores a simulation-assisted building control strategy. Specifically, the use of generate-and test as well as bi-directional…
The control strategy of the thermal storage HVAC system gives a large effect to the storage efficiency which dominates the tank volume to a great…
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) provide an environment of interoperability among IFC-compliant software applications in the architecture,…
This paper describes a series of tests that were performed to determine whether a neural-network model could outperform a correlation-based model…
New developments of both user-friendly interfaces and mathematical models have been added to the very known software package TRNSYS /2/, a…
The research we develop consists in evaluating "radiative comfort" during no heating periods in dwelling space and particularly in office…
This paper investigates the implications of the selection of various sky luminance distribution models for the computational prediction of…
An extensive experimental program on single sided natural ventilation was carried out within the frame of PASCOOL EC research…
Within the framework of full-scale experimental validation of the global building energy simulation software programme CLIM2000, an…
The simulated cooling plant equips an office building whose maximum cooling demand is about 5 MW. To meet this load, the cooling plant uses five…
A new generation building simulation tool combines the most important inter-acting physical processes (air infiltration and ventilation, heat…
Hollow core ventilated slab systems provide an effective means of utilizing the building structure as a thermal store. The optimum control…
