This paper investigates the environmental conditions inside a highly-glazed cross-ventilated meeting room. A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of…
Many attempts have been made to automatically convert architectural 3D models into thermal models for building performance simulation. This paper describes…
In oasis cities urban forest shades the lower level facades of buildings. It is thus crucial to analyze the distributional patterns of sun radiation…
Detailed experimental studies of heat and moisture transfers in building envelope parts are important to gain knowledge about hygrothermal responses and to…
Choosing the optimal combination of building compo-nents that minimize investment and operational costs is a topic of great importance in the building…
Developing a methodology of simulating tree shading on daylight performance in indoor spaces such as lux levels on a task plane is investigated. The…
Optimizing the operations of a HVAC system in response to the dynamic loads and varying weather conditions throughout a year can result in substantial…
The present work reports an experimental procedure designed to verify a particular solution for the distri-bution of artificial light sources. The inverse…
Heating and cooling load estimation is based on the heat balance method. Although this method has strong physical basis, it yields an acausal system when…
This paper deals with the global model based antic-ipative energy management system adapted for the CANOPEA building prototype proposed by the team Rhˆone-…
