Hourly energy simulation was used in combination with a life cycle assessment framework to model the environmental effects of energy consumption…
The evaluation of shading devices is generally carried out using a sequence of shadow pattern images showing the progression of solar penetration for…
The hygrothermal behavior of a building component exposed to weather is an important aspect of the overall performance of a building. Today the …
The software Sim_Zonal is a tool for evaluating indoor temperature and air flow distributions for residential…
The aim of the presented work is to refine the ESP-r system by incorporating phase change materials (PCM) modelling. The behaviour of PCMs is modelled…
The rapidly developing Internet broadband network offers new opportunities for deploying a range of energy, environment and health-related services…
In the context of a european project dealing with the issue of transport safety improvement in fog conditions, an experimental building has been …
Interoperable software makes it possible to seamlessly exchange data among different compliant applications. Seamless data exchange…
We present a method, a model and a simple design tool for evaluating the construction, investment and energy costs of different possible design …
SEMPER, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), is an active, multi-domain, space-based, object-oriented design support…
A comfortable indoor climate environment is necessary for modern buildings and therefore the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)…
Recent advances in mathematical models, computer processors and OOP compilers have been motivating the development of the…
With the current enhancements moisture engineering analysis of building envelope structures becomes a critical design element. Building envelopes …
This paper will address the shortcomings of typical heat balance-based HVAC design and analysis software when applied to thermal displacement …
The Loop Equation Design Method has been proposed for sizing ventilation airflow components of natural and…
