Review of Transparent and Semi-Transparent Building-Integrated Photovoltaics for Fenestration Application Modeling in Building Simulations

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have attracted interest due to their capacity to feasibly supply buildings with renewable power generation, helping to achieve net-zero or net-positive energy goals.

Utilization of building design performance simulation in the architectural design studio process

open access: yesARTEKS : Jurnal Teknik Arsitektur, 2022
Design is a unified system consists of parameters that influence each other, so design considerations must be careful. Building design performance is a measurable parameter, and integrating the planning and design process can make decision-making more ...

Simulation of occupancy in buildings [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy and Buildings, 2015
Abstract Occupants are involved in a variety of activities in buildings, which drive them to move among rooms, enter or leave a building. In this study, occupancy is defined at four levels and varies with time: (1) the number of occupants in a building, (2) occupancy status of a space, (3) the number of occupants in a space, and (4) the space ...
