The inverse model, implemented in EnergyPlus and published in a previous article [1], calculates highly uncertain model parameters such as internal thermal mass and infiltration airflow by inversely solving the zone air heat balance equation using the easy-to-measure zone air temperature data. The paper provides technical details of validation from the experiments using LBNL’s Facility for Low Energy eXperiment in Buildings (FLEXLAB) that measures zone air temperature under the controlled experiment of two levels of internal mass and four levels of infiltration airflow. The simulation results of the zone infiltration airflow and internal thermal mass from the inverse model agree well with the measured data from the FLEXLAB experiments. The validated inverse model in EnergyPlus can be used to enhance the energy modeling of existing buildings that enables energy performance assessments for energy efficiency improvements.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thierry Stephane Nouidui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phalak, Kaustubh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wangda Zuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael Wetter</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation and Application of the Room Model of the Modelica Buildings Library</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc. of the 9th International Modelica Conference</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">09/2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Munich, Germany</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The Modelica &lt;em&gt;Buildings&lt;/em&gt; library contains a package with a model for a thermal zone that computes heat transfer through the building envelope and within a room. It considers various heat transfer phenomena of a room, including conduction, convection, short-wave and long-wave radiation. The first part of this paper describes the physical phenomena considered in the room model. The second part validates the room model by using a standard test suite provided by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The third part focuses on an application where the room model is used for simulation-based controls of a window shading device to reduce building energy consumption.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5932E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thierry Stephane Nouidui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael Wetter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wangda Zuo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of the Window Model of the Modelica Buildings Library</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">07/2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This paper describes the validation of the window model of the free open-source Modelica Buildings library. This paper starts by describing the physical modeling assumptions of the window model. The window model can be used to calculate the thermal and angular properties of glazing systems. It can also be used for steady-state simulation of heat transfer mechanism in glazing systems. We present simulation results obtained by comparing the window model with WINDOW 6 the well established simulation tool for steady-state heat transfer in glazing systems. We also present results obtained by comparing the window model with measurements carried out in a test cell at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5735E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mingang Jin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wangda Zuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qingyan Chen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of three dimensional fast fluid dynamics for indoor airflow simulations</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">the 2nd International Conference on Building Energy and Environment (COBEE2012)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boulder, CO</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1055-1062</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wangda Zuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qingyan Chen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of a Fast-Fluid-Dynamics Model for Predicting Distribution of Particles with Low Stokes Number</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and Climate (Indoor Air 2011)</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cfd</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ffd</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">low stokes number</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">particle transportation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">06/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Austin, Texas</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">To design a healthy indoor environment, it is important to study airborne particle distribution indoors. As an intermediate model between multizone models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a fast fluid dynamics (FFD) model can be used to provide temporal and spatial information of particle dispersion in real time. This study evaluated the accuracy of the FFD for predicting transportation of particles with low Stokes number in a duct and in a room with mixed convection. The evaluation was to compare the numerical results calculated by the FFD with the corresponding experimental data and the results obtained by the CFD. The comparison showed that the FFD could capture major pattern of particle dispersion, which is missed in models with well-mixed assumptions. Although the FFD was less accurate than the CFD partially due to its simplification in numeric schemes, it was 53 times faster than the CFD.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wangda Zuo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qingyan Chen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of fast fluid dynamics for room airflow</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">the 10th International IBPSA Conference (Building Simulation 2007)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beijing, China</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">980-983</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young-Hum Cho</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xiufeng Pang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mingsheng Liu</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">VAV System Optimization through Continuous Commissioning in an Office Building</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">the 7th International Conference of Enhanced Building Operations</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">San Francisco, CA</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thierry Stephane Nouidui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Christoph Nytsch-Geusen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andreas Holm</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validierung der eindimensionalen hygrothermischen Wandmodelle der Modelica-Bibliothek &quot;BuildingPhysicsLibrary&quot;</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BauSIM 2006</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Munich, Germany</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pp.144-146</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-3-00-019823-6</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richard J.
