Design and simulation of a new energy conscious system, (ventilation and thermal performance simulation)

Applied Energy, 2000, vol. 65, issue 1-4, 355-366

Abstract: This paper presents the results of simulating the ventilation and thermal performance of a new passive cooling and heating system. The new system was integrated into the roof of a typical contemporary North African house, which was modelled and mounted inside a wind tunnel, for natural ventilation simulation. Thermal performance of the new system was simulated using a new computer programme (BTS), developed by the author. Results are presented in terms of indoor temperature and CATD and HATD, which are newly introduced concepts in defining the building cooling and heating loads.
