Calculations of energy efficiency of several AACbased building envelopes under different climatic conditions are presented. As thermal insulating materials, expanded polystyrene and hydrophobic and hydrophilic mineral wools are assumed. The computations are accomplished using computer code HEMOT developed at Department of Materials Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Czech Technica...

This paper describes an improved approach for (a) the estimation of the mean expected hourly global solar radiation I(h;nj), for any hour h of a day nj of the year, at any site, and (b) the estimation of stochastically fluctuating I(h;nj) values, based on only one morning measurement of a day. Predicted mean expected values are compared, on one hand with recorded data for the period of 1995–200...

The main objective of this work is to provide a good understanding of the different aspects of social oriented dwellings in Ecuador. Life cycle thinking has been considered as the methodological framework to perform a multicriteria sustainability analysis. The energy performance of four continental models of dwelling was estimated by simulating each dwelling in Design Builder, using weather fil...

                                                                 In Iraq, solar radiation field measurements are available only for very limited locations such as some universities and research centers. This article reviews and compares the measured monthly averaged global solar radiation data for Iraqi provinces and cities available in the literature and studies over the internet especially Go...

To design energy efficient buildings using an optimal combination of passive design strategies it is necessary to understand the particular climate designed for. To use energy simulation software such as EnergyPlus TM , Ecotect TM or DesignBuilder TM to calculate building energy consumption or undertake a predictive thermal simulation of naturally ventilated buildings requires a detailed set of...

This article analyses the actual, normative monthly and typical detailed climatic data for city of Kyiv. Data on actual outdoor air temperatures during 2014-2021 were compared with indicators in accordance Ukrainian regulations most common hourly climate files used building energy modeling: International Weather Energy Calculations (IWEC), Meteonorm, Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) from PVGIS...

Abstract Natural ventilation was analysed in a low-income dwelling to control open or closed windows according dynamic simulation process sub-humid warm climate. A selective algorithm natural determined an annual period per hour with the following findings: a) select determined, b) comfort hours year were evidenced open, and operate ventilation, c) schedule periods of presented. Meteonorm® data...

Abstract The present study aims to evaluate the effect of climate change on heating and cooling energy needs a residential building unit, located in city Thessaloniki, Greece. Future weather files have been generated using both statistical dynamical downscaling methods. In first case, Meteonorm generator was used generate future file, while for dynamic approach, Hadley Regional Model 3 (HRM3), ...

PLTS has enormous potential in Indonesia, especially Java-Bali, which accounts for 70% of Indonesia's electricity needs. In this study, a simulation the system design was carried out using hybrid microgrid as power supply PVsyst software to simulate performance. Power load requirements are adjusted specifications electric vehicles. Meteonorm meteorological data were compared with field adjust v...

This paper explores the potential of solar energy generation in the area of The Hashemite University in Jordan (32.05_N, 36.06_E) by investigating the optimal inclination and azimuth angles of photovoltaic (PV) modules for every hour, day, month, and of the whole year. The object of this study is to maximize the annual energy production of PV systems by tracking the changes of sun's position in...
