Bringing building simulation to a wider audience - A web based simulation and optimisation system (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Basurra, S., & Jankovic, L. (2015). Bringing building simulation to a wider audience - A web based simulation and optimisation system. In Proceedings of Building Simulation 2015 : 14th Conference of IBPSA (1962-1969)

The paper describes the development of a new web based expert system that uses jEPlus+EA and EnergyPlus as core engines for finding optimum solutions for retrofit of zero carbon design of buildings. The main goal is to scale up the use of building si... Read More about Bringing building simulation to a wider audience - A web based simulation and optimisation system.

Emergence-Based approach to computational fluid dynamics (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Jankovic, L. (2015). Emergence-Based approach to computational fluid dynamics. In Proceedings of Building Simulation 2015 : 14th Conference of International Building Performance Simulation Association (50-57)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling
requires considerable user preparation time and
considerable CPU time for reproducing the simplest
of behaviours of air movement in and around
buildings. This is due to the top-down approach to
modell... Read More about Emergence-Based approach to computational fluid dynamics.

The use of optimisation in the calibration of building simulation models (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Basurra, S., Jankovic, L., & Huws, H. (2015). The use of optimisation in the calibration of building simulation models. In Proceedings of Building Simulation 2015: 14th Conference of IBPSA (2905-2912)

In this paper, a model-assisted calibration is proposed in order to reduce performance gap of simulation models, being the estimated differences between the predicted performance of the simulation model and the actual performance of the building. We... Read More about The use of optimisation in the calibration of building simulation models.
