The performances of air conditioning equipments, like heat pumps, chillers or air conditioners, derive not only…
In this work two numerical models are presented. The first one simulates the buildings thermal response and evaluates the internal air quality, …
This paper describes the application of a building simulation program to construct a decision-support tool for use by policy makers addressing the…
It is necessary for fire safety that in case of a flash-over situation, the windows in the outer skin would break very fast and before the windows in the…
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is increasingly being used to predict the effects of wind on buildings and on…
The non-uniform behavior of the air inside a room, which is important in comfort analysis, can be evaluated…
This study is aimed to contribute to energy saving and to achieve the indoor thermal comfort by preventing the down draft along the window in building…
The sky view factor indicates the relationship between the visible area of the sky and the area covered by…
A preliminary investigation is made into the global variation in irradiance under the Clear, the Intermediate…
The barriers to simulation deployment in design practice are well documented. They include: a steep learning curve, a lack of trained staff, hardware…
Occupant responsive optimal control is developed for so called smart façade systems. The control optimizes the performance of the system by rotating a…
Skylights can offer useful benefits in reducing building energy consumption and improving building occupants…
The international building physics toolbox (IBPT) is a software library specially constructed for HAM system analysis in building physics. The toolbox…
A computer-model is used to simulate the evacuation of the occupants in a building. The aim of the simulations is to establish an equal level of…
This paper draws the attention to the importance of a correct modelling of the inlet temperature of naturally and mechanically ventilated multiple-skin…
This article presents a one-dimensional model of spray vaporization that can be easily used in thermal performance…
Four areas in Texas have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because ozone levels exceed…
HVAC systems that supply both space heating and domestic hot water are becoming more popular in residential buildings In North America. With these…
The present paper addresses and fosters the factors that affect airflow movement and energy efficiencies in the surgical operating theatres. The…
The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient use…
