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…
This paper reviews the validity of the ubiquitous daylighting rule of thumb (DRT) that relates window-head-height to the depth of the daylit area…
Building energy analysis are very sensitive to external convection heat transfer coefficients so that some researchers have made sensitivity…
Validation and verification of building simulation programs and load calculation programs is of continuing interest. Dynamic thermal behavior data…
This paper deals with solar indicators and simulation as a step toward global assessment of a district. The final aim is to assess district…
APOLUX 1.0 is a computer code specifically developed for assisting the architect regarding daylighting considerations; it runs in a…
The paper presents a new approach for analyzing mold growth risk in buildings, based on a mixed simulation approach with consideration of …
Daylight design for “extremely” obstructed urban environment is a relatively uncharted area of scholarship. The reason might be that the problem…
This paper presents an in-situ calibrated model-based approach to treat natural ventilation as an integral element of the operation of the…
In this paper we present an interactive software prototype for fluid flow problems in civil engineering including:

The European Energy Performance in Building Directive (EPBD) requires methods for the calculation of the energy performance for use in the context…
This paper addresses the application of fire and smoke simulation and computational fluid dynamics tools to events taking place in the new …
Matlab/Simulink is known in a large number of fields as a powerful and modern simulation tool. In the field of building and HVAC simulation its…
This paper explores the degree to which subjective assessments of the acoustical properties of a real space can be reproduced by assessments that…
The paper describes a strategy of how to implement technical installations (heating, domestic hot water and ventilation) in a building energy…
This paper presents the results of a field study of manual control of windows which has been carried out in 21 individual offices within the…
Accurate assessment of both surface and interstitial condensation risk at the design stage of buildings is of great importance - not just to…
The California Commercial End Use Survey (CEUS) project is being conducted for the California Energy Commission (CEC) by Itron, Inc. with support…
A new Energy Code for office buildings in Israel, currently under development, is presented. This code is based on a prescription approach, which…
