CH-95-09-3 — Short-Time-Step Analysis and Simulation of Homes and Buildings During the Last 100 Years

Click here to purchase

Reviews the work done in the last 100 years in the development of short-time-step analysis and simulation of homes and buildings. The primary source of information regarding the history is ASHRAE publications (Transactions) and other related works. Covers three time periods – pre-World War II, from World War II (1945) to the second energy crisis (1973), and post-second energy crisis. The short-time-step analysis can be defined as the method that requires a complete dynamic interaction between all thermal-based elements associated with comfort and energy consumption, including the building envelope, mechanical systems, lighting, control devices, and energy conservation algorithms. The objective of short-time-step analysis is to stimulate the performance of the building on a minute-by-minute basis with the same details as the operator observes.
