Whereas water can frequently come in contact with wood-based building envelope components, little work has tried to measure and model moisture…
Burn Intensive Care Units (ICU) have among the most stringent design criteria for patient rooms in hospital design. Communication between the…
Despite the low energy and lower maintenance benefits of ground-source heat pump systems, little work has been undertaken in detailed analysis and…
The paper describes a process that efficiently supports the early building design stage with prototype tools to capture topological floor plan…
This study is focused on the ground heat pump (GHP) used in heating single-family houses. These systems generate a ground heat depletion which…
This paper represents the next step in the development of occupant responsive optimal control for double-skin systems that was presented at the…
The building simulation tool Domus has been recently renamed as PowerDomus for whole-building hygrothermal and energy simulation. Enhancements…
A comprehensive modeling of radiative and convective heat transfer of a compact double-skin facade equipped with venetian blind is proposed …
This paper deals specifically with analysis of the thermal, airflow and daylighting performance of the façade elements and in particular with the…
This paper investigates airflow in an office room with a displacement ventilation system parametrically using three-dimensional CFD. A numerical…
This paper gives an overview of recent developments and results of a new integrated heat, air and moisture (HAM) modeling toolkit in Matlab named…
Numerous problems can occur for an investigator of larger datasets, e.g. how to handle dimensionality, many variables and few observations,…
Personalized ventilation (PV) has the ability to improve inhaled air quality and accommodate the individual thermal preference. In this paper one…
In this paper we emphasize a technique based on graph theory that allows for deriving both a dimensionally reduced object model required for…
Multizone network models employ several assumptions, such as uniform pressure and quiescent air inside the zone, which may cause inaccurate …
Stand-alone software for predicting contaminant transport and behaviour is well developed, but to be more effective, it needs to be integrated…
The present paper investigates, both experimentally and by simulation, the influence of faulty VAV units that do not affect the zone temperature…
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are modelled, analyzed based on exergy, cost, energy and mass, and evaluated exergoeconomically. In this regard,…
Hygrothermal modeling of building envelope has received much attention and development in recent years; to increase its flexibility and…
Active diffusing light pipes (such as hollow tubular lighting) are means of directing and diffusion light (daylight or electrical light) into…
