    A modelling method to assess the effect of tree shading for building performance simulation
    Hes, D ; Dawkins, A ; Jensen, CA ; Aye, L (International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2011)
    Increasing urban tree numbers is a simple but effective means to provide climate change adaptation to the urban environment by reducing the thermal load on buildings. To better communicate and value the importance of urban trees it is necessary to quantify these benefits and to understand the properties and processes that influence the magnitude of these benefits. For this we need verified and effective ways of modelling the trees in modelling software. This paper presents the results and problems encountered when trying to model trees effectively. The aim is to present our approach which was to treat the shade as a shading co-efficient on the wall. This allows for the consideration of the benefits of deciduous versus evergreen species. A modelling method to assess the effect of tree shading was developed and presented in this paper.

    TRNSYS simulation and thermal performance of biomimetic façade designs
    Webb, M ; AYE, L ; Green, R ; Crawford, RH ; Stephan, A (The Architectural Science Association and The University of Melbourne, 2015)
    Biomimicry – innovation inspired by nature – is a creative methodology that translates characteristics from the biological world to the domain of human technology. Functional biomimicry offers opportunities to advance the development of flexible building facades. Following biomimetic principles, external fur and bioheat transfer (blood perfusion) and were combined into a mathematical model of a commercial office building façade for a west-facing wall of an office building situated in Melbourne, Australia. Simulation software TRNSYS was used to determine temperatures and heat transfer of this biomimetic façade in summer design conditions compared to a reference. The biomimetic façade was simulated to provide cooling of greater than 50 W/m2 and reduced mean surface temperatures in the occupied zone by 2.8C, compared with the reference.
