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…
Natural ventilation - A new method based on the Walton model applied to cross-ventilated buildings having two large external openings
Alain Bastide, Francis Allard, Harry Boyer
In order to provide comfort in a low energy consumption building, it is preferable to use natural ventilation rather than HVAC systems. To achieve this, engineers need tools that p…
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…
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…
