The paper presents the advanced use of S-Functions, facilitated by the Matlab/SimuLink environment. An existing indoor climate model is…
Convective air circulation occurring through wall layers is frequently observed in building envelopes. Significant…
Environmental design of buildings involves ‘finding the optimum’ solution satisfying predefined objective(s) (e.g., reduction in operating/capital…
People that work in office buildings have new needs in terms of comfort within their work place. We suggest to develop a multicriteria office cell…
In 1998, MoD commissioned ANSYS CFX to develop a numerical procedure, based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aimed at providing a…
For many buildings, continuous operation of the air conditioning system is not necessary for achieving thermal comfort during the occupied periods…
The necessity of focus on more large integration of passive concepts for indoor climate conditioning is today a reality. Through this study, a …
We introduce a representation framework that is aimed at supporting performance analysis during schematic and detailed design. The framework is…
With the advancement of technology, and with the widespread availability of simulation tools, we are forced to consider…
This paper describes a new software application for analysing climate data. It is argued that the produced graphical charts can be useful concept…
Conventional building control systems usually apply central control schemes that do not fully address individual occupancy differences in built…
There is a growing need for more complex control of ventilation systems to satisfy energy and environmental issues. SIMBAD Toolbox (SIMulator of…
Advanced packages for building energy analysis require simplified methods to reduce the computational time in assessing the indoor visual …
The computer software AUSSSM TOOL, originating from the methodology of the revised-Architectural- Urban-Soil-Simultaneous Simulation Model (…
This paper describes four simulation models, which reproduce energy and temperature measurements of occupied buildings very well. These buildings…
In order to reduce the environmental load (energy and materials) of buildings, a study was undertaken to develop and assess solutions for a dynamic, weather…
A method of simulating the interaction between an architectural environment and human action in the environment is described. The computational …
This paper presents the concept of a tool adapted to zonal models and devoted to the simulation of thermal dynamic phenomena in buildings. The aim…
A set of geometry translation tools and capabilities have been developed to increase base efficiencies in the simulation of both the internal and …
Copious amounts of data are generated by contemporary building simulation (BS) programs and the translation of these data to information that may…
