Building Simulation: An International Journal
http://www.springerlink.com/content/1996-3599
Building Simulation: An International Journal will publish original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with modeling and simulation of buildings including their systems. The goal is to promote building research by utilizing various modeling approaches. Of particular interest are papers that reflect recent development and application of modeling tools and their impacts on advances of building science and technology. Papers are submitted on:
* Theoretical and numerical modeling of building physics including heat and mass (moisture, air pollutants) transfer, air movement, architectural lighting and sound/vibration control systems.
* Simulation of performance of energy supply systems including heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, renewable energy systems, thermal storage, district heating and cooling, combined heating and power systems.
* Modeling health, productivity, thermal comfort of humans, fire/smoke and emergency control systems, cold/hot water supply systems, sewage systems. Simulation of building chemistry.
* Advances in modeling including optimization, product modeling, fault detection and diagnostics, inverse models.
* Advances in software interoperability, validation and calibration techniques.
* Simulation tools for sustainable buildings and experiences on teaching building simulation.
