Dynamic Simulations Supported Indoor Climate and Energy Building Modeling

Multi-dimensional approach used for energy and indoor climate evaluation applied to a low-energy building

Climate and Energy in Urban Areas to Reduce Energy Consumption, Case Study of Saadat Abad Building

Before the modern era, cities were built on a scale that did not change the environmental balance significantly. With the expansion of population and the expansion of cities and the conversion of settlements into big cities and metropolises, new conditions have emerged which show that cities today make their own climates. The new climates created in these areas are completely different from the...

The Impact of the Building Occupant on Energy Modeling Simulations

Uncertainties regarding behavior of building occupants limit the ability of energy models to accurately predict actual building performance. Initial results show that predicted energy consumption changes by more than 150% using all high or all low values for what experts believe reasonably represents occupant behavior. Although numerous sources of modeling inaccuracies and over-simplifications ...

Analysis and Optimization using Renewable Energies to Get Net-Zero Energy Building for Warm Climate

Due to low energy price, economic optimization of consumption has no justification for users in Iran. Nowadays, the issue of ending fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gases and the main role of building in consumption of considerable amount of energy has drawn the focus of global researches to a new concept called net zero energy building. In this study, modeling, simulation and energy anal...
