It is the conceptual idea to explain the physical background and the numerical techniques which form part of the core of building performance simulation. The knowledge is provided with minimum semantics in terms of creating the particular modules of a geomertry-based thermal multizone model step by step.1 Introduction 2 Energy efficient building design 3 Heat balances and energy flow paths 4 Transition and boundary conditions in simulation 5 Geometric modeling 6 Heat conduction in solids 7 Internal radiation processes 8 Solar radiation processes 9 Optical and thermal properties of windows 10 The zone model 11 Modeling air flows in buildings 12 Validation and benchmarking 13 Thermal quality performance assessment in buildings 14 Application examples 15 Some future trends and aspects in building simulationen690habilitation thesis
