A numerical model is developed to accurately simulate the transient thermal behaviour of rooms with sun-facing windows, with the use of a refined spatial…
This paper presents a comprehensive approach about energy resources management in buildings connected to the electricity grid and equipped with energy…
The capacity of intermittent power sources like wind and PV is steadily increasing. The existing balance between production and consumption is seriously…
The reliable assessment of the annual energy demand has become necessary in view of building energy performance certification. Accurate models must be used…
Recent researches propose the integration of performance analysis to early stages of the design process in order to obtain the building´s best final…
Natural ventilation in building is a common way to ensure indoor air quality, thermal comfort in summer and reduce energy consumption due to air…
Integrated building performance simulation (IBPS) provides an appropriate means to appraise the performance of low energy communities featuring cooperating…
In this paper, dynamic simulation software (in this case, DesignBuilder) has been used to model and to simulate a typical 1960s UK social housing in order…
This paper describes and focuses on the applications of a new range of smart building products, particularly Integrated Building Technology (IBT) systems,…
