  2. 1. Real-Time Shading and Accurate Shadows Using GPGPU Techniques

    Author : Ola Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virtual shadow-maps; real time; transparency; shading; shadows; rendering; shadow volumes; GPGPU; GPU;

    Abstract : Over the last 10-15 years, computer graphics hardware has evolved at a tremendous pace, with an exponential growth in the number of transistors. This evolution has transformed the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from an entirely fixed-function unit into a highly parallel general-purpose architecture that can be programmed using high-level programming languages.

  4. 2. Solar Shading for Low Energy Use and Daylight Quality in Offices: Simulations, Measurements and Design Tools

    Author : Marie-Claude Dubois; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; screens; venetian blinds; awnings; design tools; measurements; computer simulations; solar-protective glass; heating; cooling; visual comfort; daylighting; energy use; Shading devices; solar protection; Architecture; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; Energy research; Energiforskning;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of solar shading devices on energy use and daylight quality in office rooms. The impact on energy use is analysed through computer simulations with the dynamic energy simulation program Derob-LTH while the impact on daylight quality is investigated through measurements in full-scale experimental office rooms and simulations with the program Radiance.

  5. 3. Performance of Energy Efficient Windows and Solar Shading Devices

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

    Abstract : This Licentiate dissertation deals with windows and solar shading devices and how they could be designed and used to save energy for heating and cooling in buildings. Parametric studies using the dynamic energy simulation software ParaSol v 2.0 were performed for different windows and solar shading devices. READ MORE

  6. 4. Real-Time GPU Techniques for Advanced Lighting Phenomena

    Author : Markus Billeter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Shading; Rendering; Participating Media; Volumetric Shadows; Mobile Graphics; Scattering; Computer Graphics; GPGPU; Many-Light;

    Abstract : In the real world, the visual perception of an object is completely determined by the object's interactions with light. One large application of computer graphics is to visualize virtual objects and worlds in a fashion that is familiar to humans. Successfully emulating light and its effects on virtual objects therefore plays a central role. READ MORE

  7. 5. Improvement of Thermal Comfort in Buildings through Passive Design

    Author : Marcelino Januário Rodrigues; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Passive Design; Orientation; Shading; Ventilation; Materials; Temperatures; Thermal Comfort; Simulations; Retrofitting; Hot Humid Regions.;

    Abstract : In hot humid regions the high outdoor temperature has negative effects on the indoor temperature of buildings that are not designed to cope with the local climate. This leads to discomfort for the occupants. READ MORE
