Peter G. Loutzenhiser,Peter G. Loutzenhiser,Heinrich Manz,Clemens Felsmann,Paul Strachan,Th. Frank,Gregory M. Maxwell +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated seven solar radiation models implemented in four building energy simulation codes: (1) isotropic sky, (2) Klucher, (3) Hay-Davies, (4) Reindl, (5) Muneer, (6) 1987 Perez and (7) 1990 Perez models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate warming impact on degree-days and building energy demand in Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of climate warming on Swiss building energy demand was investigated by means of the degree-days method, where a procedure to estimate heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree-day (CDD) from monthly temperature data was developed, tested and applied to four representative Swiss locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic potential for passive cooling of buildings by night-time ventilation in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for passive cooling of buildings by night-time ventilation was evaluated by analysing climatic data, without considering any building-specific parameters, and the results showed a high potential for nighttime ventilative cooling over the whole of Northern Europe and still significant potential in Central, Eastern and even some regions of Southern Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of heat transfer by natural convection in cavities of facade elements
TL;DR: In this paper, heat transfer by the natural convection of air layers within vertical, rectangular cavities with aspect ratios (A) of 20, 40 and 80 was investigated in relation to applications in building facade elements, such as insulating glazing units, double-skin facades, doors, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameter study on performance of building cooling by night-time ventilation
TL;DR: In this paper, a typical office room was modelled using a building energy simulation program (HELIOS), and the effect of different parameters such as building construction, heat gains, air change rates, heat transfer coefficients and climatic conditions including annual variations on the number of overheating degree hours (operative room temperature >26 °C) was evaluated.
