The evaluation and analysis of available simulation tools suggests a thorough research methodology for creating a new front-end interface that…
This paper studies in three-dimension the coupled convective and radiative heat transfer rate from a window surface with adjacent aluminium…
Highly glazed buildings are often considered to be airy, light and transparent with more access to daylight than traditional buildings, but their…
This paper presents the performance of a computer simulation code for modelling the evaporative cooling of buidings by water spray vaporization,…
Many existing building energy performance assessment frameworks, quantifying and categorising buildings post occupancy, offer limited feedback on …
For a quick and reliable energy evaluation of houses, one needs simple energy analysis software. A key requirement for simplified inputs is to…
There is a strong demand for accurate moisture modelling since moisture poses a risk for both the constructions and the indoor climate. Thus, in…
To have a proper energy management in buildings, it is necessary to evaluate its HVAC system. To properly compare operating strategies and solve…
A brand-new methodology for considerably accurate time-series cooling load calculation in a dwelling is established, motivated by the fact that…
While most of the existing artificial neural networks (ANN) models for building energy prediction are static in nature, this paper evaluates the…
Regression equations can be used for predicting temperature and relative humidity in single-zone buildings. This paper presents a methodology for…
With computational analysis and simulation becoming an increasingly important part of the building design process, the complexities of dealing…
In early 1980s, Tsinghua University has started to develop a new building simulation tool with the aims to benefit for teaching, research and…
The impact of building regulations on the final form of a design can be quite significant. At the same time, increasingly stringent and more…
A new model for predicting the thermal and electrical performance of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cogeneration devices for residential buildings…
The Haima is a non air-conditioned 16,000 m2 tent designed to house fifteen exhibitions about conditions for peace, viewed as solutions…
Tile coated wood fired appliances are designed to store heat from the intermittently burning fire in their massive structure and release it slowly…
The aim of this study is to develop a simple method to predict heat flows and minimum surface temperatures in dynamic heat load calculation …
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) have been proposed to treat the outdoor air before it enters the building and thus reduce the load on the…
A new hygrothermal building model is being developed within the research project GENSIM by the Fraunhofer institutes FIRST and IBP. The model…
