A methodology is presented that entails three ways to determine the heat losses of a dwelling in the heating season, each using a different set of data. The…
Nowadays, important efforts are deployed to reduce our current residential building consumption. The most common retrofit option concerns the air tightness…
A combined simulation of the building envelope and the plant equipment is more realistic than simulating both separately and has the advantage that the…
At present, for energy conservation, conscious utilization of natural ventilation is encouraged. However, the relationship between heat discharge through…
The sensitivity to time resolution of boundary conditions is studied for dynamic integrated simulation of thermal and electrical networks of a net zero…
To evaluate the requirements for passive school buildings, simplified calculation methods based on EN ISO 13790 are used. For these simplified calculations…
One trend in whole building simulation is the incorporation of hygric interaction of room and enclosure. This allows besides a more detailed comfort…
For the surface temperature of clothing, body surface temperature, and detailed temperatures and heat flow phenomena of soles contacting the floor, results…
This study aims to conduct an Integrated Building Design process (IBD), collaborating a Building Information Modeling (BIM) application with a Building…
This paper proposes to study the role and the user in the operation of the building and its impact on energy performance of buildings. Some…
In this paper, numerical building energy simulations were carried out with weather data for Karasjok, …
This paper describes the full scale tests for air flows in a test chamber subject to heat loads generated by human occupancy and equipment. The Particle…
A simulation study was undertaken to assess the effects of vegetated walls on the thermal performance of a building. A thermal model of climbing plants was…
Energy savings in the residential area are essential in order to achieve the overall goal for energy savings outlined in the recast of the Energy…
This paper evaluates the daylighting performance of a prototype external dynamic integrated shading and light redirecting system. The demonstration project…
The insulation glass unit as a part of a window plays a key role in the design of low energy buildings. The paper focuses on a selection of glass units and…
The paper presents a comparison of the simulation results and measured operating parameters of building in Slovakia. Attention is paid to the overall energy…
As the solar thermal system with the floor heating and the hot-water supply system need low temperature of 40-50 degC, the effectiveness of solar collector…
In an international simulation study, the measures to be taken with an example retrofit building at different locations were quantified in order to reach…
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the energy conservation potential of an underfloor air distribution (UFAD) system integrated with an indirect and…
