This paper reports on research that uses building performance simulation and uncertainty analysis to assess the risks that projected climate change poses to…
Advanced control systems are widely applied in modern buildings so as to meet the requirements of energy conservation and higher level of indoor…
This paper investigates the inclusion of passive airflow components such as solar chimney, and wind induced earth air tunnel into a coupled multi-zone…
In this paper, the application potential of ground-coupled heat pumps (GCHP) in a multi-storey office building in Hong Kong was investigated. It was…
New façades of high-rise buildings often include renewable energy converters to allow “green building” operation. At the same time, numerous tenants value…
The Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) currently under development at the University of Wollongong will be an exemplar in respect of demonstration…
A calculation model for air-to-water heat pump for space heating in residential house was developed. This model is assumed to be used for…
In this paper, we developed a new method to forecast 10-minutes ahead wind speed based on Heteroscdastic Gaus-sian Process and investigated the impacts of…
There has been an increasing demand for sports facilities in urban areas recently. As a result of this, more attention is drawn towards not only the energy…
In this paper, a methodology for interfacing and as-sessing a Model Predictive Control strategy in a build-ing simulation tool (SIMBAD) is presented.…
The faulty operation of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial buildings can waste vast amounts of energy, cause unnecessary…
This paper presents an analysis of whole-building performance modelling and simulation process of a low-energy single-family detached residence located in…
According to the Passivhaus Institute (PHI) the verification of a Passivhaus design must be carried out using the Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP). A…
Foundation Heat Exchangers (FHX) are a novel form of ground heat exchanger for residential applications and, by virtue of lower costs, could increase the up…
The aim of this study is to identify the most effective strategies to improve energy performance of an existing…
To predict the risk if mould growth, rot, deformations and cracks in wood, it is necessary to know the moisture levels in constructions and building…
The performance of night ventilation to cool buildings is highly sensitive to the convective surface heat flux. As a result, simulations in BES-models may…
Within this paper an annual performance and daylight comfort analysis of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is discussed, evaluated and compared to a…
To minimize the total power consumption of a central air conditioning system, optimal control variables are necessary. A simulation of a central air…
The building sector is responsible for a major part of the energy consumption. A considerable reduction can be achieved by improving the operation of the…
