Download or read book Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation written by Jan L.M. Hensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective building performance simulation can reduce the environmental impact of the built environment, improve indoor quality and productivity, and facilitate future innovation and technological progress in construction. It draws on many disciplines, including physics, mathematics, material science, biophysics and human behavioural, environmental and computational sciences. The discipline itself is continuously evolving and maturing, and improvements in model robustness and fidelity are constantly being made. This has sparked a new agenda focusing on the effectiveness of simulation in building life-cycle processes. Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation begins with an introduction to the concepts of performance indicators and targets, followed by a discussion on the role of building simulation in performance-based building design and operation. This sets the ground for in-depth discussion of performance prediction for energy demand, indoor environmental quality (including thermal, visual, indoor air quality and moisture phenomena), HVAC and renewable system performance, urban level modelling, building operational optimization and automation. Produced in cooperation with the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA), and featuring contributions from fourteen internationally recognised experts in this field, this book provides a unique and comprehensive overview of building performance simulation for the complete building life-cycle from conception to demolition. It is primarily intended for advanced students in building services engineering, and in architectural, environmental or mechanical engineering; and will be useful for building and systems designers and operators.

Download or read book Post Occupancy Evaluation Routledge Revivals written by Wolfgang F. E. Preiser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-occupancy evaluation, focusing on building’s occupants and their needs, provides insight into the consequences of past design decisions and forms a sound basis for creating better buildings in the future. This book, first published in 1988, includes a review of the evolution of the field, a conceptual frame-work for POE, and pragmatic information on planning, conducting, and reporting POEs. Post-Occupancy Evaluation categorizes the approaches to building evaluation by describing the three levels of POE effort – indicative, investigative, and diagnostic, each differing in terms of time, resources, and personnel needed. In its scope Post-Occupancy Evaluation is both comprehensive and specific; professionals in the design and planning disciplines will find it an invaluable resource for understanding the theory behind POE’s and the procedures needed to put the theory into practice.

Download or read book Performance of Buildings concept and Measurement written by William Winfield Walton and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conference entitled 'Performance of Buildings--Concept and Measurement' was held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Md. on September 23-25, 1968.At the present conference, papers were presented by nineteen authors representing government and industry in such diverse disciplines as architecture, engineering, science, urban planning, and standards.These papers emphasize the prime importance of considering user needs in the development of performance criteria, the necessity of test methods to determine whether the desired performance has been achieved, and the development of performance specifications and standards.Application of these ideas to building systems, and to the planning and design of entire communities, is also discussed.(Author).

Download or read book Design and Performance Optimization of Renewable Energy Systems written by Mamdouh Assad and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design and Performance Optimization of Renewable Energy Systems provides an integrated discussion of issues relating to renewable energy performance design and optimization using advanced thermodynamic analysis with modern methods to configure major renewable energy plant configurations (solar, geothermal, wind, hydro, PV). Vectors of performance enhancement reviewed include thermodynamics, heat transfer, exergoeconomics and neural network techniques. Source technologies studied range across geothermal power plants, hydroelectric power, solar power towers, linear concentrating PV, parabolic trough solar collectors, grid-tied hybrid solar PV/Fuel cell for freshwater production, and wind energy systems. Finally, nanofluids in renewable energy systems are reviewed and discussed from the heat transfer enhancement perspective. - Reviews the fundamentals of thermodynamics and heat transfer concepts to help engineers overcome design challenges for performance maximization - Explores advanced design and operating principles for solar, geothermal and wind energy systems with diagrams and examples - Combines detailed mathematical modeling with relevant computational analyses, focusing on novel techniques such as artificial neural network analyses - Demonstrates how to maximize overall system performance by achieving synergies in equipment and component efficiency
