Energy management monitoring and control of public buildings

The relationship between water body (fountains) scale and climate parameters like wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, as well as thermal comfort index was modeled and analyzed via Envi-met code. Taking the water impact and factors analysis as a research object, the factors mainly discussed in this research are square area to water-body area ratio and the location of the water element. However, the computational fluid dynamics simulations were conducted on the following scenarios: 3% (original base case), 6%, and 9% of the total square's area, then the outputs of the two simulation results were compared to the original base case. The results revealed that water scale has a slight effect on the micro-climate of the built environment in the summertime in moderately warm-wet climate zone. However, it is beneficial to adjust temperature and humidity in public spaces of central European cities. Nonetheless, the main aim of this paper is to quantitatively investigate the impact of the water bodies on the urban weather parameters and human thermal comfort under the influence of different scale ratios in Pecs-Hungary.

Several cities in the country have experienced the rapidly-growing period for more than two decades. New technologies are playing an important role in the green building performance encouraging new architects, engineers and investors in choosing ecological materials. Referring to the European Commission and building codes, recent regulations of local plans for various municipalities emphasize in particular the environmental improvements in urban areas, especially areas with cultural heritage. The scope of this study is to highlight the wood applications as a green material for the construction/restoration phase in residential buildings, dwellings, interior spaces, façades and multifunctional buildings in the urban environment.

“…The dynamic simulation supported building design research program is based on synchronous thermal energy simulations and architectural planning. For thermal climate and energy building behavior prediction thermal simulations are today's most developed and adequate tools with appropriate level of accuracy [1], [2]. The annual energetic and climatic performance of the models was compared with the dynamic simulation program IDA ICE 4.5, in hourly resolution.…”

Getting the possibility to participate in an actual design process of a Hungarian national sports center is a unique chance to demonstrate and investigate the potential of the dynamic simulation supported building design research program. The research is based on synchronous energy simulations and architectural planning. Energetic and climatic simulations are made during the whole design process. All possible simulated building climate-and energy parameters of the planned versions are compared to each other. In this way it is possible continuously develop the energy and climate characteristic of the designed building. The goal is to reach an accurate design method to be able to predict and minimize the total energy needs of the building as early as the design stage. In the first phase of this process the simulation models of the plan variations are compared, which helps to locate the possible weaknesses of the proposed building geometry and structures or its setting method to develop he building structures and proposed building services systems. In the second phase the chosen building plan is optimized and quantified by final simulations.
