This paper reports on how sensitivity analysis techniques, applied to the inputs of calculation engines for energy certification and regulation compliance…
Occupants have influence on buildings performances due to their presence and their behavior towards in-door environmental conditions controls. However, most…
The European energy policies about climate and energy packages, known as the “20-20-20” targets, define ambitious, but achievable, national energy…
This paper presents helical heat exchangers for geothermal use. The differences with more widespread geothermal exchangers are given, and a complete thermal…
Moisture transfer in porous construction materials car-ries many causes for their degradation: mould devel-opment and freeze-thaw damage are favoured by the…
This paper proposes to apply the celebrated Proper Or-thogonal Decomposition (POD) approach in order to obtain a short-term control model for the…
This investigation proposed a two-step model to inversely identify release location and temporal rate profile of an indoor pollutant source in an arbitrary…
In the frame of a research project, the energy production for a residential unit including its mobility by micro-CHP was simulated in detail. Several…
Thermal coupling between a heat pump and a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV-T) collector is efficient for two reasons. First the heat produced by the PV-T…
Hygrothermal properties (such as thermal conductivity, sorption isotherm, moisture diffusivity…) are required for all Heat, Air and Moisture transfer (HAM)…
In order to find an effective method to keep indoor air quality good through the year in real houses, a simulation program: Fresh was reformed to integrate…
This paper investigates the effectiveness of multiple external shading devices and identifies the most effective fixed external shading configurations for…
This paper reports on the simulation of the indoor thermal environment and energy demand of an Airport terminal space in the UK. It compares the performance…
This paper describes the measurement of wind velocity and pressure difference between that inside and outside of a single sliding door at open–close…
