This paper focuses on the issue of integrating two or three dimensional models of heat and moisture transfer in porous materials with whole building HAM…
The project “Aktivhaus“-residential estate in Kramsach focuses on (1) energetic aspects and measures to reach the “net-zero-energy-building” and (2)…
This paper presents dynamic sensitivity analysis as a novel design analysis tool for dealing with time-varying performance aspects in the built environment…
An excessive level of moisture in building damages their quality. Key factors associated to the develop-ment of this damages mainly depend on the hygrother-…
Simulation tools are effective for the commissioning of HVAC systems. In particular, such tools are useful not only for simulating the current state of…
This paper presents a methodology to measure the ef-fect of economic incentives on energy-cost optimal curves. A case-study using a net-zero energy home,…
This paper explores the thermal performance of the Global Earthship design. Earthship is an autonomous earth-sheltered home utilising passive solar…
In this study the coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) differential and human thermal comfort (HTC) integral numerical models is developed and…
Whole building energy models have found widespread use in estimating the energy consumption of building sys-tems. Within these models, usage profiles are…
