Experiences Testing Enhanced Building Performance Simulation Prototypes on Potential User Group
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous work involving literature review, simulation tool analysis and interviews with world leading building performance consulting engineers and designers has shown that building performance simulation (BPS) is mostly limited to code compliance checking of the final building design whilst it could provide useful information and guidelines throughout the entire design process [Hopfe et al., 2005/ 2006].

Interfacing Bim with Building Thermal and Daylighting Modeling
This paper presents our research and development of system interfaces between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Building Energy Modeling (BEM), for supporting integrated architectural design and energy simulation. Our methods utilize the BIM authoring tools’ Application Programming Interface (API) to translate BIM into Object-Oriented Physical Models (in Modelica) for building thermal sim...
متن کامل/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Prototype Evaluation in Service Design a Case Study at an Emergency Ward
Prototypes based on user research are embodiments of hypotheses about how behaviour and experiences will change. The purpose of prototypes has been discussed in academic literature but in the case of service design, some of that knowledge needs to be re-examined. In Service design, one of the problems is that the impact of prototypes is complex and difficult to predict. A way to counter this di...
متن کاملThree Integration Methods for a Component-Based NetPay Vendor System
We have developed NetPay, a micro-payment protocol characterized by off-line processing, customer anonymity and relatively high performance and security using one-way hashing functions for encryption. In our NetPay prototypes we have designed and implemented two kinds of NetPay vendor systems which use thin-client user interfaces, a component-based server-side infrastructure and CORBA remote ob...
متن کاملMeasuring User Experiences of Prototypical Autonomous Products in a Simulated Home Environment
Advances in sensor technology, embedded processing power, and modeling and reasoning software, have created the possibility for everyday products to sense the environment and pro-actively anticipate user needs. There is however a risk of creating environments in which people experience a lack of control. The aim of this study is to explore the degree in which people are willing to delegate cont...
متن کاملSimulation and Virtual Prototyping of Tangible User Interfaces
Prototyping is an important part in research and development of tangible user interfaces (TUIs). On the way from the idea to a working prototype, new hardware prototypes usually have to be crafted repeatedly in numerous iterations. This brings us to think about virtual prototypes that exhibit the same functionality as a real TUI, but reduce the amount of time and resources that have to be spent...
