This paper presents the process followed for defining the features of the next-generation HOT2000 simulator, and the conclusions drawn at the…
Energy Conservation Buildings are very effective for restraint of global warming, because they can reduce CO2 emissions in building operation,…
The high thermal insulation of housing construction has been spreading all over Japan, for the improvement of indoor environment and the efficiency of…
In this paper, an approach to the optimum volume of rock bed, its charged thermal energy and the optimum air flow rate for an air-based solar heating…
Addressing the complexity underlying design questions does not appear to be sufficient reason for simulation to be widely deployed in design …
Hourly simulation programs such as DOE-2, HAP and BLAST can effectively simulate the performance of HVAC systems in response to seasonal weather …
This paper proposes a dynamic optimization technique for building heating and cooling systems. The proposed algorithm returns trajectories for…
Simplified equations are established to estimate the energy consumption for the heating and cooling of residences, with the coefficients like air-…
A building simulation program has been developed and a model of a standard Swedish single family house has been built up. The model uses an…
Interoperability among software tools that are used in building design can make the use of building energy simulation tools more frequent and more…
The cooling effect caused by long wave radiation between the roof surface and the sky is studied here. The external surfaces may cool down below…
Three indices are introduced in order to evaluate cost saving operation of chillers using nighttime low electric power rates for thermal storage…
The objective of the work presented in this paper is to develop a building performance assessment tool that will assist the design process rather…
In the framework of a collaboration between EDF and CSTB, we carried out a specific experimental protocol in Bouin house (CSTB site, house …
The experiments involving clothed subjects are conducted to reproduce the situation in which people enter an air-conditioned room just after…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of four energy analysis software to predict the energy performance of an existing house…
It is required that the urban air temperature is estimated on the average and macroscopically for studying the urban thermal environmental…
One central idea of building simulation is to visualize calculated datavalues embedded in an in herently three dimensional building shape. Here we…
This paper deals about the presentation of a new software RUNEOLE used to provide weather data in buildings physics. RUNEOLE associates three…
