Site Plans –An overhead view of the site, the residence and lot boundaries, the site plan shows the location of utility services, setback requirements, easements, location of driveways and walkways and sometimes the slope of the land. Floor Plans –Each floor is shown from an overhead view...
3.1. Industrial Applications of VR Serious industrial application of VR began in the mid 1990s. At that time, the trend was to convert CAD/CAE data into VRML or IGES and display them [26,27]. Most of the systems were developed to assist mechanical design; typical applications included automo...
The worst-case calculated building space is the living room, as it incorporates the internal heat gains from the open-plan-layout kitchen; these are interleading rooms. The flat units with poorer ventilation performance were shown to be in the worst-case representative ground floor flat unit. ...
The Figure 2 below show the floor plan and elevations of the building model: developed for this study to represent the typical urban residential building in Malawi as closely as possible. The model spread over a total floor ...
When a building fulfilled the expectations of the nZEB Standard, a building with a larger floor area, higher floor number, and higher percentage of KG4/BWK was then examined. Therefore, the projects under investigation tend to be in the upper part of the categories shown in Figure 3, or ...
In the ninth step, the EnergyPlus Weather file for the selected zone was specified. This file provided the necessary weather data for the simulation and analysis. The mesh grid size was defined in the tenth step. This grid measures 0.5 m above the floor in the interior space of the ...
Ground floor plan. Figure 3. Case study reference building. 3D view. A detailed presentation of the energy efficiency features and the energy demand of the reference building is presented in Table 2 and also in the following (Section 2.2.1 Energy Analysis). The total energy demand for the...
The outcome of the statistical analysis is a residential building with a total area of 191.10 m2 and a heated floor area of 123.75 m2 (Table 1). The building is a "representative" example of the Greek building construction for single-family buildings in the city of Thessaloniki. Nevertheless,...
