In this paper, microscopic and macroscopic flow analyses have been employed to identify and analyze the causes of discrepancies of power law zonal…
The thermal modelling of windows is often carried out at a high level of precision whilst irradiance anddaylight quantities are predicted using coarse…
Throughout its thirty year history, the transient energy simulation package TRNSYS has been under continual enhancement by an international group…
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation technique was used to study the effect of air distribution and supply parameters on ventilation…
The use of Matlab, a tool for mathematical programming, is actually increasing in a large number of fields. Together with its dynamic simulation…
Geothermal district heating systems (GDHSs) are modeled by examining the relations between thermodynamic losses and capital costs for the …
This paper deals with the development and the evaluation of hybrid ventilation control strategies, using both natural and mechanical modes, in…
We analyzed the thermal environment within Kyoto city using a numerical model that considers three elements: the unsteady-state heat conduction of…
This paper presents an air cooled slab system (ACS) specially designed for use in multi-storey steel framed buildings. The system works by passing…
Increasingly the fire protection concerns at airports are being addressed using computational fluid dynamics and most of these studies have been…
Among the tools which serve to predict heat and mass transfer in a mechanically ventilated room, the…
The paper describes a research project which addresses the problem of supervisory control of systems which include a range of heat sources …
This work presents a simple design tool for the consideration of solar rights in urban design that was developed by the use of the computer model…
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…
