Spaces with high heat generation such as telecommunication base stations (TBS) increase sharply recently. Huge energy is consumed for air-conditioning…
The Birmingham Zero Carbon House is a retrofitted Victorian house that has achieved carbon negative performance.! Future predictions of temperatures are…
The decrease of heat demand in low energy build-ings, very sensitive to solar and internal gains, and the development of new HVAC systems call for a reexam-…
This paper describes the use of optical recognition technologies to augment the physical design space and its aesthetic drivers with a myriad of design…
This paper evaluates the influence of windows in thermal energy performance of a social interest bulding in Dunas District - Pelotas/RS, analizing the…
The optimal building management models require predicting the behaviour of building systems. To achieve this goal, we propose to make available on the web…
The aim of this study is to establish the suitability of using existing net zero energy building (Net ZEB) solution sets to redesign Net ZEBs being moved…
Computational building performance simulation can be employed to develop various future solutions. The development of Virtual Natural Lighting Solutions (…
A type of a radiant system that uses the building concrete structure as energy storage, Thermally Activated Building System, is an energy efficient system,…
We propose a methodology for determining internal heat gains in workspace for peak cooling/heating load calculations. First, we collected measurement data…
In September 2012 the contest Solar Decathlon was held in Madrid, for the second time. One Brazilian team with its own project called the “Ekó House” was…
A bottom up engineering modelling approach has been used to investigate the pathways to 2050 low carbon residential building stock. The impact of housing…
In this paper, the authors present the Georgia Tech Uncertainty and Risk Analysis Workbench (GURA-W), a software toolkit that explicitly captures…
Being increasingly insulated, new buildings are more and more sensitive to variations of solar and internal gains. Controlling mechanical or natural…
Building energy model reduction exchanges accuracy for improved simulation speed by reducing the number of dynamical equations. Parallel computing aims to…
