Assessing building performance by simulation

Building and Environment, 1993
Abstract This paper characterizes the state-of-the-art in the assessment of a building's performance by computer simulation. Theoretical and application aspects are outlined and current developments are described which will help to ensure that simulation can be effectively applied in practice by designers with limited knowledge of the technology ...

Simulation of thermal performance in an office building

2012 IEEE Business, Engineering & Industrial Applications Colloquium (BEIAC), 2012
Computer simulation is becoming popular in assessing thermal performance in building. It can predict the energy consumption and also the comfort of the building. This paper focuses on the assessment of thermal performance in two storey office building in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Batu Pahat, Johor. Field measurement on the thermal parameters

Simulation for Performance Based Evaluation in Buildings

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
From Uphaar Fire Tragedy to recent Mumbai Secretariat Fire accident shows how Vulnerable are Old Constructions, while new one are well designed with Necessary Fire Protection Systems. It is well known fact many of Old Structures in India doesnt have basic Fire Protection systems such as F.E. This paper is intended to study one of such old Constructions,

The role of simulation in performance-based building

2019
This chapter explores how simulation supports performance-based building through different lifecycle stages, with a focus on the design stage. As design evolves, a building project invokes many intermittent and recurring dialogues between stakeholders that engage in the definition and subsequent negotiation of performance requirements and their ...

Building performance simulation as a design tool for refurbishment of buildings

2004
This paper attempts to outline the current state-of-the-art regarding the use of building performance simulation as a design tool for refurbishment of buildings. This is illus-trated by means of three recent studies for conversion of historical buildings (an early 20th century factory, and a water mill and a former church both dating back to the 14th ...
