Monte Carlo estimators of first-and total-orders Sobol' indices
Ivano Azzini, Thierry Mara, Rossana Rosati
This study compares the performances of two sampling-based strategies for the simultaneous estimation of the first-and total-orders variance-based sensitivity indices (a.k.a Sobol'…
Linear regression in the Bayesian framework
Thierry A. Mara
These notes aim at clarifying different strategies to perform linear regression from given dataset. Methods like the weighted and ordinary least squares, ridge regression or LASSO…
Elaboration of a new tool for weather data sequences generation
Laetitia Adelard, Thierry Alex Mara, Harry Boyer +1
This paper deals about the presentation of a new software RUNEOLE used to provide weather data in buildings physics. RUNEOLE associates three modules leading to the description, th…
Black box modelling of HVAC system : improving the performances of neural networks
Eric Fock, Thierry Alex Mara, Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret +1
This paper deals with neural networks modelling of HVAC systems. In order to increase the neural networks performances, a method based on sensitivity analysis is applied. The same…
Use of BESTEST procedure to improve a building thermal simulation program
Ted Soubdhan, Thierry Alex Mara, Harry Boyer +1
Validation of building energy simulation programs is of major interest to both users and modellers. To achieve such a task, it is essential to apply a methodology based on a priori…
A Comparison between CODYRUN and TRNSYS, simulation models for thermal buildings behaviour
Franck Lucas, Thierry Alex Mara, François Garde +1
Simulation codes of thermal behaviour could significantly improve housing construction design. Among the existing software, CODYRUN and TRNSYS are calculations codes of different c…
Parametric sensitivity analysis of a test cell thermal model using spectral analysis
Thierry Alex Mara, Harry Boyer, François Garde
The paper deals with an empirical validation of a building thermal model. We put the emphasis on sensitivity analysis and on research of inputs/residual correlation to improve our…
A validation methodology aid for improving a thermal building model: Case of diffuse radiation accounting in a tropical climate
A. J. P. Lauret, T. A. Mara, H. Boyer +2
As part of our efforts to complete the software CODYRUN validation, we chose as test building a block of flats constructed in Reunion Island, which has a humid tropical climate. Th…
Building ventilation: A pressure airflow model computer generation and elements of validation
H. Boyer, A. P. Lauret, L. Adelard +1
The calculation of airflows is of great importance for detailed building thermal simulation computer codes, these airflows most frequently constituting an important thermal couplin…
