2. 16. Meta-Languages and Semantics for Equation-Based Modeling and Simulation

   Author : David Broman; Peter Fritzson; Jeremy Siek; Thomas Schön; Björn Lisper; Walid Taha; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Meta-language; semantics; EOO; Modelica; equations; modeling; simulation; MKL; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : Performing computational experiments on mathematical models instead of building and testing physical prototypes can drastically reduce the develop cost for complex systems such as automobiles, aircraft, and powerplants. In the past three decades, a new category of equation-based modeling languages has appeared that is based on acausal and object-oriented modeling principles, enabling good reuse of models. READ MORE

4. 17. Comfort Climate Evaluation with Thermal Manikin Methods and Computer Simulation Models

   Author : Håkan O Nilsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : thermal climate assessment; thermal environment; office environment; cabin; climate; CFD; thermal manikin; comfort zone diagram;

   Abstract : Increasing concern about energy consumption and thesimultaneous need for an acceptable thermal environment makesit necessary to estimate in advance what effect differentthermal factors will have on the occupants. Temperaturemeasurements alone do not account for all climate effects onthe human body and especially not for local effects ofconvection and radiation. READ MORE

5. 18. Supporting evidence-based design using lighting simulations : A framework for lighting simulation of visual comfort in building design

   Author : Anahita Davoodi; Myriam Aries; Peter Johansson; Thorbjörn Laike; John Mardaljevic; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lighting quality; visual comfort; lighting simulation; evidence-based design; field study; post-occupancy evaluation; Ljuskvalitet; visuell komfort; ljussimulering; evidensbaserad design; fältstudie; brukarutvärderingar;

   Abstract : This research aims to integrate lighting simulation into the evidence-based design process for achieving improved lighting outcomes in built environments with a particular emphasis on visual comfort analysis in office settings. The objectives of the study include 1) understanding the current usage of lighting simulation tools, learning designers’ experiences' and needs, 2) providing a conceptual framework to integrate the use of lighting simulation in the evidence-based design (EBD) process, 3) testing the usage of the conceptual framework (named EBD-SIM) through two field studies.

6. 19. Simulation of historic buildings for enhancement of preservation and energy performance – issues and methods

   Author : Torun Widström; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Jesper Arfvidsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building simulation; historic buildings; energy performance; damage risk; mould; thermal bridges; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Historic buildings are often particularly poorly insulated and difficult to heat, and are also at risk for several reasons. These include potential lack of use due to low thermal comfort leading to low or no profitability, damage risks due to over and under-climatization and risks due to climate change altering the boundary conditions that they were built for.

7. 20. Single Skin Glazed Office Buildings - Energy Use and Indoor Climate Simulations

   Author : Harris Poirazis; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Modern office buildings have high energy savings potential and potential for indoor climate improvements. During the nineties many office buildings with glass facades were built, in several cases with double skin glass facades. READ MORE
