The efficient thermal control of buildings is a complex problem. Non controlled perturbations like user behaviour and meteorological conditions can change much with time and make this task difficult. This work proposes considering the building as a 'living ...
An accurate evaluation of daylight distribution through advanced fenestration systems (complex glazing, solar shading systems) requires the knowledge of their Bi-directional light Transmission Distribution Function (BTDF). An innovative equipment for the e ...
Stochastic models for the analysis of the energy and thermal comfort performances of passive solar devices have benn increasingly studied for over a decade. A new approach to thermal building modelling, based on Markov chains, is proposed here to combine b ...
Using control theory, apredictive thermal regulation of the "certainty equivalence" type has been developped. Stochastic models of hourly solar rediation and outdoor air temperature, based on the theory of Markov and ARMA processes, were set up for this pu ...
An accurate evaluation of daylight distribution through advanced fenestration systems (complex glazing, solar shading systems) requires the knowledge of their Bidirectional light Transmission (Reflection) Distribution Function BT(R)DF. An innovative equipm ...
Multilayered thin oxide films have been deposited on solar collector glazing by sol-gel dip coating in a dust-free environment provided by a laminar flux chapel. A superior film quality and a satisfying film homogeneity have been achieved for the produced ...
