The development of solar district heating is experiencing a booming. In some case the space available for the integration of solar panels is limited and the…
We present a transient coupled thermal and electrical model of BIPV systems installed on rooftops and naturally ventilated through air cavities imposed by…
This paper describes the development of a technique for extrapolation of dynamic daylighting simulations from a limited number of high dynamic range…
The present paper is concerned with the results of the numerical investigation of unsteady laminar, natural convection in an asymmetrically heated inclined…
This paper outlines a digital design and simulation-based process conceived and tested, for the automation of environmentally responsive building ‘forms’,…
The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology using simulation to help optimising the design of passive buildings through a comfort approach. The study…
The aim of this study is to evaluate a simplified parameter to characterize green roofs summer dynamic thermal performance through a mathematical approach.…
Most building energy consumption dashboards provide a snapshot of building performance; others provide detailed historical data for comparison to current…
The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated graph able to communicate to the designer -which is not specialist in lighting- a rating of the…
In the future building design must progress to a format where CO2 neutral societies are optimized as a whole and innovative technologies integrated. …
This paper presents a method to analyse the impact of current refurbishment settings. Performance indicators are computed through multiple physical…
This paper describes a prototype of a web-based 3D design and energy modeling platform called “Atmospheres”. A WebGL based 3D geometry modeling and data…
Recent developments in material science offer the potential for energy harvesting electrochromic (EH-ECW) windows. This technology offers a glazing system…
This paper reports on a research that aims at identifying acceptable window configurations that suit the requirements of hospital Intensive Care Units…
