Neste trabalho, avalia-se a carga térmica do laboratório HSBC localizado no 1º andar edifício Alfred Cownley Slater (prédio 04) da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (UPM), em Higienópolis, São Paulo, utilizando o simulador EnergyPlus™ interagindo com SketchUp®, programa de modelagem, através plug-in Openstudio®. A simulada foi ajustada e validada para as cargas projeto disponibilizadas pela ...

The purpose of this research is to propose a simple and fast method evaluate the effect heat rejection split-type air conditioner on thermal environment surrounding building cooling demand provide guidance for architectural design in urban planning stage. In paper, we first determined factors that affect or are affected by as dissipation, wind speed, ambient temperature, which inputs CFD build ...

Data centers in the United States consume about two percent of nation’s electricity. Because heat gains from IT equipment drive cooling demand, data offer unique opportunities for energy savings. However, no prototype model is available suite existing U.S. Department Energy’s Commercial Prototype Building Models. This study presented development new center models and their implementation OpenSt...

Abstract Incorporating PCM in building envelopes is a promising energy-saving technique. Because the container maintains constant temperature when storing and retrieving energy. The used to diminish solar irradiation, reducing heat penetration lowering heating cooling loads. It’s vital get right for different climates. ambient air fluctuated lot throughout year. effectiveness highly determined ...

Many methods to generate future weather files run building performance simulations have been proposed. However, do not account for local urban climate modifications, such as heat island and may be representative of buildings’ conditions. This study describes a methodology include effects in using multiple tools: the EURO-CORDEX regional model data, Urban Weather Generator, URBVENT canyon wind m...
