The aid of TRNSYS simulation for the conservation of an artwork: a case study [PDF]
Due to secularization more and more churches lose their original function, that is a place to worship, and become a place of cultural interest. To fulfil the comfort demands, a heating system or a HVAC-system was installed.

Trends in office internal gains and the impact on space heating and cooling demands [PDF]
Internal gains from occupants, equipment and lighting contribute a significant proportion of the heat gains in an office space. Looking at trends in Generation-Y, it appears there are two diverging paths for future ICT demand: one where energy demand is ...
