In this study, a multizone model of an existing shopping mall is developed in IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (IDA ICE). The model is validated using field…
This paper describes an effort to build and partially validate an energy model of an existing educational building located in Cambridge, MA, USA. This work…
Building simulation supported projects are difficult to manage when there are many different participants involved (e.g. simulation specialists, project…
The use of computer simulation has increased rapidly within the construction industry over the last few years and this trend is set to continue. …
Large modern sports stadia are often multifunctional buildings that are not only used for sports purposes but also for other events such as concerts,…
In this paper we present a case study about the application of dynamic simulation to asses the energy performance of a building in the context of a…
The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center is designed to be a net-zero energy building. This paper explains how simulation modelling was integrated into the…
Extensive energy modeling was used during the design process of the Aldo Leopold Foundation Legacy Center in Baraboo, Wisconsin (USA) both to minimize the…
This paper outlines a novel methodology for calibrating building energy simulation (BES) models through the use of an evidence-based approach and detailed…
Decisions made in the very first stages of a building’s design often have a significant impact on energy efficiency and internal environment of the building…
Today, many building software tools for evaluating energy efficiency are available. More than three hundred are listed by the US Department of Energy.…
The drive to reduce UK Carbon Emissions directly associated with dwellings and to achieve a zero carbon home dictates that Renewable Energy Technologies…
With the increasing awareness of sustainable development in the construction industry, implementation of an energy rating procedure to assess buildings is…
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) systems use 254 nm UVC radiation to inactivate microorganisms in the air and on surfaces. In-duct UVGI systems are…
In-duct ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems treat moving air streams in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to…
Artificial lighting contributes for a large part to the primary energy use of an office building. Lighting control systems can help reduce the lighting…
Indoor climate has a distinct influence on productivity and sick leave of employees. Rehva guidebook 6 “Indoor Climate and Productivity in Offices” (ISSO/…
