This paper presents the outcome of a study based on the early-stage analysis of six virtual urban-scale de-signs located in Bern, Switzerland. A preliminary…
This paper presents a study in support of decision mak-ing for building retrofit and energy supply strategy at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in southwest…
Computer simulation and field studies were conducted to investigate the implementation of natural cooling strategies in existing apartment buildings in…
With more frequent problems of reflected daylight from building envelopes, it is important to assess the influence of a building envelope design in terms of…
Dynamic energy simulation has the potential to provide relevant information about building energy behavior. However detailed models require an increased…
This paper presents the energy modeling and simulation of a railway station building through thermal and electrical loads calculations. To address this…
New French construction programs must deal from 2013 with strongest regulation requirements intended to reduce building energy consumption : Thermal…
Green roofs and green walls have several benefits on buildings and cities. They are most often used for water management and for the aesthetical value they…
The analysis of the hygrothermal behaviour of green building materials is investigated in this work. For this, a 1D heat, air and moisture transfer model…
Commonly provided HVAC system simulation tools are not necessarily satisfactory for the investigation of operational improvement and renovation planning…
Energy performance of a university building is mod-eled and compared to the actual measured perfor-mance of the building. Two energy models are devel-oped…
This investigation studied an adjoint method to achieve the optimal design of ventilation in enclosed environment and validated it by two-dimensional cases…
