Numerical prediction of energy consumption in buildings with controlled interior temperature

Abstract

A broadband energy-based boundary element method for predicting vehicle interior noise Abstract. New European directives bring strong requirement to the energy consumption of building objects, supporting the renewable energy sources. Whereas in the case of family and similar houses this can lead up to absurd consequences, for building objects with controlled interior temperature the optimization of energy demand is really needed.The paper demonstrates the system approach to the modelling of thermal insulation and accumulation abilities of such objetcs, incorporating the significant influence of additional physical processes, as surface heat radiation and moisture-driven deterioration of insulation layers. An illustrative example shows the numerical prediction of energy consumption of a freezing plant in one Central European climatic year.

New Approaches to the Thermal Design of Energy Saving Buildings

“…The aim of the following illustrative example is to demonstrate that even under very strong simplifying assumptions in the case of very strong simplifications, with no need of expensive parallel computing, we can get reasonable results in practical building design. The original modular research code SIM_stabil, not included in [32], presented in [12], has been developed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology (in the Pascal language implemented in the Delphi environment, by Prof. S. Šťastník and his collaborators) to support such system modeling and simulations (except the post-processing for the visualization of results like Fig. 1, Fig.…”

“…those involving both offices and technological halls. Such example is demonstrated in [12] where the main task is to predict the energy consumption of a freezing plant (much higher than in the case of buildings handled by [31]), as a typical object with controlled interior temperature.…”
