Integrating power flow modelling with building simulation [PDF]
, 2001 The inclusion of photovoltaic facades and other local sources of both heat and power within building designs has given rise to the concept of embedded generation: where some or all of the heat and power demands are produced close to the point of use ...

LES over RANS in building simulation for outdoor and indoor applications: A foregone conclusion?
Building Simulation, 2018 Large Eddy Simulation (LES) undeniably has the potential to provide more accurate and more reliable results than simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach.

Estimation of the Heating Time of Small-Scale Buildings Using Dynamic Models
Buildings, 2016 Most buildings are not continuously occupied, such as office buildings, schools, churches and many residential buildings. Maintaining comfortable conditions only during the occupied periods reduces the energy costs.

Shade and Thermal Comfort in Courtyards: Experimental versus Simulation Results
Buildings, 2022 Outdoor comfort is gaining attention in the design of our cities to face the current context of rising temperatures. Although simulation is required to inform the early design stage of projects considering outdoor space and strategies to improve their ...
