The paper describes the main features of the new simulation environment ColSim [15] and a special application for investigating ventilation strategies…
In recent years several daylighting systems were developed. Due to a generally felt lack of daylight because of climatic conditions the…
Horizontal and vertical brises soleil are dominant elements in the modernist tropical architecture. It was the obvious answer to the question on…
This paper reports on the progress of the S2 project. This is an ongoing effort toward an Internet-based environment for distributed collaborative…
COMIS simulates multizone airflow and pollutant transport. It has been developed in an international context at LBNL and within IEA Annex 23. At…
Over the last fifteen years, there have been a number of UK initiatives which facilitated practitioner access to simulation programs (e.g. Clarke and …
In this paper we report the findings of a survey conducted to evaluate the energy-conservation performance of an office building some time after…
Classical building simulators are typically based on global systems of differential equations that model the physical reality and are numerically…
Little work has been done on the closed loop response of refrigeration plant using the new chlorine-free refrigerants. A simulation model of a…
This work presents the program SIMEDIF, a code conceived for the design and simulation of the thermal transient behavior of buildings, entirely…
THERM is a freely available, user-friendly twodimensional heat transfer model for analyzing the impacts of thermal bridges in building components…
The aim of this work is to present a computer application that was developed to be a user-friendly interface that simplifies the manipulation of…
This study aims to develop a simplified estimation method of the thermal design load and space radiant environment in order to achieve adequate…
An indirect control technique using a single-zone space model is presented. The practice of adjusting temperature of heat supply medium inversely…
This work wants to provide the planners with a database of the typical mediterranean building structures. This provides a set of coefficients of…
It is becoming a popular practice for architects and HVAC engineers to simulate airflows in and around buildings by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD…
