Thermal storage tanks are widely used in Japan mainly to shift electrical energy usage to night time for the purpose of peak demand reduction.…
HOT2000™, a residential energy analysis program, is constantly under evolution. New models are added to the program and its user base is ever…
The conception of complex buildings with innovative facade elements often demands dynamic building simulations. In some cases the required thermal…
Central to the formulation of a mathematical model to describe moisture transport through porous building materials is the initial choice of the…
By describing three recent case-studies, this paper aims to elaborate the current state of building energy modelling and simulation in the Czech…
Stadium Australia is to be the centrepiece of the year 2000 Sydney Olympics. The architects aimed to minimise energy consumption by incorporating…
The effectiveness of simple shading devices in reducing the direct, diffuse and ground reflected components of solar radiation has been measured…
The paper deals with the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) application to the comfort optimization of some complex architectural projects in…
This paper describes a recent extension to the ESPr system concerned with the simulation of facade and roof-integrated photovoltaic modules. The…
We show here the actual state of a project based on n object-oriented philosophy, MotorLab. It is an interface to general and widely available…
The purpose of our research deals with the description of a methodology for the definition of specific weather sequences and their…
A simulation program VENTOLA was developed to study behaviour of the microclimatic situation inside buildings housing domestic animals. The model…
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…
