Numerical research on cross-ventilation flow of a generic building in unsheltered and sheltered conditions: impact of cross-section [PDF]
The performances of ventilation in the buildings with quadrate and cylindrical cross-sections are compared numerically. The incoming jet in the cylindrical unsheltered-building is more horizontal in comparison to the quadrate unsheltered-building.

A DDES Model with Subgrid-scale Eddy Viscosity for Turbulent Flow [PDF]
The original (delayed) detached-eddy simulation ((D)DES), a widely used and efficient hybrid turbulence method, is confronted with some flaws containing grid-induced separation (GIS), log-layer mismatch (LLM), and slow RANS-LES transition. A novel hybrid

Open-Source Tool for Transforming CityGML Levels of Detail
Urban Building Energy Modelling (UBEM) requires adequate geometrical information to represent buildings in a 3D digital form. However, open data models usually lack essential information, such as building geometries, due to a lower granularity in ...

Cost-efficient Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings [PDF]
The next level of energy performance of new buildings within the European Union will be the Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB). A lot of work has been spent on pilot and demonstration buildings on this and also even higher energy performance levels ...

Energy efficient building design [PDF]
The fundamental concepts of the building design process, energy codes and standards, and energy budgets are introduced. These tools were combined into Energy Design Guidelines and design contract requirements. The Guidelines were repackaged for a national audience and a videotape for selling the concept to government executives.
