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…
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 …
In principal, the algorithms used in advanced lighting simulation software are equally applicable to interior and exterior situations [Ashdown…
The current work presents features of an air-underfloor heating system and CFD model to predict velocity and temperature distribution. The paper describes…
Two dissimilar models capable of predicting the electrical and thermal performance of residential cogeneration fuel cell systems have been…
During the last years much interest has been paid to Low Temperature Systems, i.e. systems which use water to transfer the energy and have…
This paper describes a newly developed prototype of continuous commissioning tool that can be stand-alone or be embedded in a BEMS to …
We present a representational framework for the integrated operation of multiple environmental systems in buildings. A methodology for the …
Thermal building simulation programs, such as
EnergyPlus, approximate solutions of a differential
algebraic system of equations. While the…
The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate thermal storage performance of the storage medium embedded with metal fins and to prepare and…
The aim of the European SSHORT (Sustainable Social Housing Refurbishment Technologies) project is to increase and promote rational and efficient…
This study discusses charging and discharging performance in building thermal mass storage systems. Building thermal mass storage systems utilize…
