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…
A Picard Newton method to solve non linear airflow networks
Harry Boyer, Alain Bastide, Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret +1
In detailled buiding simulation models, airflow modelling and solving are still open and crucial problems, specially in the case of open buildings as encountered in tropical climat…
A numerical approach to evaluating what percentage of a living space is well-ventilated, for the assessment of thermal comfort
Alain Bastide, Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret, François Garde +1
A bioclimatic approach to designing comfortable buildings in hot and humid tropical regions requires, firstly, some preliminary, important work on the building envelope to limit th…
Hybrid modelling of a sugar boiling process
Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret, Harry Boyer, Jean Claude Gatina
The first and maybe the most important step in designing a model-based predictive controller is to develop a model that is as accurate as possible and that is valid under a wide ra…
A genetic algorithm applied to the validation of building thermal models
Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret, Harry Boyer, Carine Riviere +1
This paper presents the coupling of a building thermal simulation code with genetic algorithms (GAs). GAs are randomized search algorithms that are based on the mechanisms of natur…
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…
