The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of the weather data contained in a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) and observe the effect…
The design for the new Federal Building for San Francisco includes an office tower that is to be naturally…
A simple approach for calculation of the electrical yield from building integrated PV (photovoltaic) systems has been implemented in BSim2002 - a…
Building design and operation processes can be supported by many kinds of models, from traditional architectural scale models to computer-…
Simulation exercises covering long periods (e.g.. annual simulations) can produce large quantities of data. The result data set is often primarily…
The paper describes the use of the theory of tolerances in thermal network models that are built as…
Certain energy-related building standards make use of simple numeric indicators to describe a building's geometric compactness. Typically, such…
This paper summarizes a PhD project that is currently under completion at Delft University of Technology…
In the mid 1980s the monolithic nature of building energy simulation programs led to proposals for development of so-called "kernel systems," i.e., software…
This paper describes the development of a design tool for the calculation of the thermal energy potential of a so-called asphalt collector. Two types…
Validation is the key when attempting to instill confidence in a building simulation tool. The user expects that the underlying algorithms are…
This paper is part of continuing research aimed at exploring the relationship between the amount of solar radiation received by a curved roof and its…
Daylight design for “extremely” obstructed urban environment is a relatively uncharted area of study. No city in the world has an urban density as high as…
The Energy Resources Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago conducted an energy assessment of the John G. Shedd Aquarium and Oceanarium to…
When making design decisions, which can impact on building capital cost and performance, the design team has to be confident that the simulation…
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…
