In this study, the Typical Weather Year data for the simulations of buildings were developed following the previous study. Using these data, the annual…
The measured thermal behavior of a massive building that uses passive techniques for indoor air conditioning is presented. The building thermal …
CEN TC247 has prepared draft standards for main types of room controllers. These standards include a…
Most photovoltaic (PV) facades are built as curtain facades in front of thermally insulated buildings with air ducts in between. This causes additional…
In this paper, the impact of a veranda (attached sunspace) on energy consumption is analyzed by…
The aim of this work was to develop a simple model to predict the electric energy consumption of office buildings artificially air-conditioned, for…
In the last seven years, a method has been developed to analyse building energy performance using simulation, in Brazil. The method combines analysis…
Solar radiation induced convection occurs quite often in glazed spaces. In spite of that the impact of solar radiation to airflow inside rooms and…
This paper presents the development of a zone model adapted to the study of the influence of the sensor position in building thermal control. The…
The Energy and Environmental Prediction (EEP) model is an environmental auditing and decision making tool for cities, to be used by planners and …
In the paper, based on MS Thesis by Richtr, 2000, the authors describe CFD modeling of a computer room with regard to thermal comfort of workers. The…
Energy demand of different glazing materials and light control systems for office spaces are analyzed in this paper. The approach is based on an …
This paper describes the "Self-aware Buildings" (SAB) project. This is an effort to advance the state of knowledge and…
This paper describes the development and validation of a simulation model for Advanced Integrated Mechanical Systems (AIMS) destined for residential…
Windows strongly influence the energy performances of buildings, especially in the new hugely glazed constructions. Many advanced …
To meet the requirements of building owners and users in environmental issues, life cycle assessment (LCA)…
This article presents the first application of the Sim_Zonal software, a tool for evaluating indoor…
This paper presents experimental data for the temperature stratification established within a full-scale enclosure, for the natural displacement …
