There is an unexploited opportunity to employ either fully naturally ventilated, or partially, when mixed with mechanical ventilation in buildings in…
A 2D axisymmetric ODE model that couples heat transfer and groundwater flow in and around a stand-ing column well system was developed by the means of a…
Increasing daylight into indoor swimming pools creates a warm and sunny environment for swimmers and provides connections with the outdoor environment.…
The urban complex with multi-function and multi-form has become an important architectural mode in the modern urban development process. By combining the…
The present contribution describes an approach to implement simulation-powered virtual sensors in a building information framework. Measurements from…
This paper describes the results of monitoring cam-paigns of a solar driven adsorption air-conditioning system. The energy performance figures of the sys-tem…
As simulation researchers in the field of performance-driven architecture, we mainly describe in this paper an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA)…
This paper reports on the development of a luminous efficacy model of global horizontal irradiance. The model is intended to be both simple and applicable…
By 2020 all new buildings within the European Union should reach nearly zero energy levels. Their energy needs should be significantly covered by renewable…
Growing interest towards carbon neutrality have led to the proliferation of carbon footprint calculators (both online and software) to aid building…
This research pursues an experimental implementation of an analysis framework in conjunction with an optimization framework for building design. The…
