Design of different energy-efficient office buildings in Norway with different energy concepts were studied with a number of different simulation tools.…
It is necessary to do research on the heat and moisture transfer in the earth-sheltered building for getting a better underground environment. Based on…
Increasing insulation thickness may reduce the energy consumption and environmental load in building operation phase, but may also increase those in…
Establishing the appropriate measure for estimating and improving the energy performance of a new building is very important at Schematic Design. As an…
The purpose of this study is to propose an optimal design method for the energy system in apartment house using a genetic algorithm and to examine the…
In this paper, the hygrothermal controll material, the interior finishing material with moisture sorption and desorption characteristics containing PCM (…
In this paper, eight ventilation strategies in a typical apartment floor plan in Jeju, Korea were studied. In terms of size and floor plan, the chosen…
This paper addresses the optimal design of residential ventilation systems in an apartment floor plan in Korea. The term “optimal design” refers to the…
Natural light is irreplaceable because it is a full-spectrum light, it changes during the day and it is different every day of the year. A variable…
This paper reports a modelling study on quantitative assessment of economical benefits of three low energy solutions that could be easily applied to a large…
Advanced façade systems such as double skin facades are increasingly common. However, evaluation of performance in terms of energy and comfort is not always…
Orthonormal Basis Functions (OBF) is a structure of dynamic models that have been applied in different classes of dynamic systems. Several works describing…
Effects of differences in a town’s configuration and the building surface components on urban warming were investigated. One of the most traditional and now…
The knowledge of the local loss coefficients is important for the accurate calculation of ventilation duct pressure loss. In practice, the pressure loss of…
Cooling energy refurbishment of buildings can be achieved by coating the outdoor walls with paints that have high solar reflectance (0.3-2.5µm) and high…
Presented work is devoted to numerical analysis of wind flow in vicinity of recently renovated historical building. The analysed building is a part of…
The wind environment around a building influences human lives and the design of it. Simulation by CFD software is a main method used to study wind…
This paper describes an outdoor-indoor thermal investigation of a multifamily residential building during summer in Cairo, Egypt. Initially, microclimate…
According to both the actual energy context and the latest laws meeting EU requirements about energy certification schemes for buildings, carrying out an…
This paper describes the latest developments in the simulation of a thermal probe apparatus, building on earlier work as reported by de Wilde et al. (2007…
