Green Walls, a Critical Review: Knowledge Gaps, Design Parameters, Thermal Performances and Multi-Criteria Design Approaches

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The green wall is an engineered technology for stormwater management and climate change mitigation at the urban level. At the building scale, these energy efficiency measures are suitable for improving indoor comfort conditions and for reducing energy ...

Impact on Thermal Energy Needs Caused by the Use of Different Solar Irradiance Decomposition and Transposition Models: Application of EN ISO 52016-1 and EN ISO 52010-1 Standards for Five European Cities

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
To solve the series of heat balances that EN ISO 52016-1 uses to simulate the dynamic hourly energy requirements of a building, detailed climatic data are required as input.

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 ...

Dynamic Simulation of Heat Transfer through External Building Constructions

open access: yesЖурнал інженерних наук, 2019
In the paper, some approaches to dynamic modeling of heat transfer through external building constructions are presented. The model of heat transfer dynamics through a wall was designed on the base of mathematical describing of an energy balance for the ...

Methodology to characterize a residential building stock using a bottom-up approach: a case study applied to Belgium

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management, 2014
In the last ten years, the development and implementation of measures to mitigate climate change have become of major importance. In Europe, the residential sector accounts for 27% of the final energy consumption [1], and therefore contributes ...

Building Galaxies With Simulations

open access: yes, 2005
We present an overview of some of the issues surrounding current models of galaxy formation, highlighting recent insights obtained from cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Detailed examination of gas accretion processes show a hot mode of gas cooling from near the halo's virial temperature, and a previously underappreciated cold mode where gas flows

Simulation support for performance assessment of building components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The determination of performance metrics for novel building components requires that the tests are conducted in the outdoor environment. It is usually difficult to do this when the components are located in a full-scale building because of the difficulty

Developing a probabilistic tool for assessing the risk of overheating in buildings for future climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The effect of projected climate change on building performance is currently a growing research area. Building designers and architects are becoming more concerned that buildings designed for the current climatemight not provide adequate working and ...
