New calculation procedures for calculating conduction heat transfer for foundations are described. These procedures are first validated and …
Hong Kong is the most densely populated city in the world. The Building Regulations of Hong Kong pre- scribe a minimum distance between buildings for…
This paper argues that analytical approaches (i.e., simulation) and inductive learning methods (i.e., neural networks) can cooperate to facilitate…
Building geometry is essential to any simulation of building performance. This paper examines from the users’ point of view the importing of…
This paper presents the requirements of the building representation to supports the holistic performance assessment of building performance into a…
The paper uses the latest state of the art dynamic simulation software to analyse and present design information for building design engineers on…
Physical and computational simulations have been combined within a unique framework for the aim of establishing a methodology for micro-level…
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…
