The case study described in this paper illustrates the role building simulation can play in evaluating refurbishment options that reduce the carbon…
To investigate the impact of the new UK Climate Projections on building performance, a primary school building has been simulated with help of a dynamic…
This paper is part of a research that aims to develop simulation methods to support the architectural design practice. To do that, we need to understand how…
As a famous large-scale transportation hub in China, the Nanjing South Railway Station (NSRS) is a huge building of 380,000 m2 and 50 meters high, with…
Biomimicry offers opportunities to advance the development of flexible, adaptive facades. This paper focuses on fur heat transfer and translates the…
High-performance buildings require an integrated design approach for all systems to work together optimally; systems integration needs to be incorporated in…
“Gotthard Base Tunnel” with its 57 km long twin tracks is going to be the world’s longest train tunnel. The two tracks are connected to each other by…
This paper describes how the use of BIM / simulation integrated within the design process for a new corporate office of 30,470sqm NIA for 3,200 people that…
Energy analysis is an integral component of sustainable building practices. Energy analysis coupled with optimization techniques may offer solutions for…
Measurement science is vital in evaluating environmental impacts to assess sustainability. There are several types of frameworks, analytical tools and…
Approaching a Net Zero Energy (NZE) building goal based on current definitions is flawed for two principal reasons – they only deal with energy quantities…
This paper examines several existing methods of static shading device design, and presents a new approach called SHADERADE. The approach is…
Integrated computational building performance simulation (CBPS) can help in reducing energy consumption and increasing occupant comfort. However, the…
ASHRAE Standard 140-2001 (BESTEST), case 600, in Toronto is simulated in TRNSYS 16. The incorporation of phase change material (PCM) with Type 204 into the…
Geothermal heat pump systems have a large potential for energy savings and associated greenhouse gas emissions. However, inappropriate control may…
