The BHE with arbitrary length can be either coaxial or double U-shaped. It is particularly suitable for modeling deep BHEs which contain varying pipe diameters and materials. Usually, in numerical simulations, a fine discretization of the BHE assemblage is required, due to the large geometric aspect ratios involved. This yields large models and long simulation times. The approach avoids this problem by considering heat transport between fluid and the soil through pipes and grout via thermal resistances. Therefore, the simulation time can be significantly reduced. The coupling with SHEMAT is realized by introducing an effective heat generation. Due to this connection, it is possible to consider heterogeneous geological models, as well as the influence of groundwater flow. This is particularly interesting when studying the long term behavior of a single BHE or a BHE field. Heating and cooling loads can enter the model with an arbitrary interval, e.g. from hourly to monthly values. When dealing with large BHE fields, computing times can be further significantly reduced by focusing on the temperature field around the BHEs, without explicitly modeling inlet and outlet temperatures. This allows to determine the possible migration of cold and warm plumes due to groundwater flow, which is of particular importance in urban areas with a high BHE installation density. The model is validated against the existing BHE modeling codes EWS and EED. A comparison with monitoring data from a deep BHE in Switzerland shows a good agreement. Synthetic examples demonstrate the field of application of this model.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Matcha2016, author = {Matcha, Heike}, title = {From Designing Buildings from Systems to Designing Systems for Buildings}, series = {Complexity \& Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1}, booktitle = {Complexity \& Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1}, editor = {Herneoja, Aulikki and {\"O}sterlund, Toni and Markkanen, Piia}, publisher = {ECAADe}, address = {Oulu, Finland}, doi = {10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.1.237}, pages = {237 -- 240}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We study the novel possibilities computer aided design and production open up for the design of building systems.

However, all too often it is used imprecisely or merely for marketing purposes. What is a concept actually? This publication moves between design theory and design practice and follows the history of the definition of concept in architecture, leading to the formulation of a specifically instrumental and operative definition. It bases concept in architecture on its strategic potential in design decision-making processes. In the changing profession of the designing architect, decisions are increasingly made in multidisciplinary groups. Concept can serve as a dialogic instrument in the process, making it possible to process heterogeneous information from a range of spheres of knowledge. The effective presentation of selected information becomes a relevant interface in the design process, which has a significant influence on the quality of the design.}, language = {en} } @article{Hirschberg1994, author = {Hirschberg, Rainer}, title = {Computer-Aided-Engineering in der Technischen Geb{\"a}udeausr{\"u}stung}, series = {computer spezial (1994)}, journal = {computer spezial (1994)}, pages = {32 -- 37}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{StapenhorstZabekHildebrand2018, author = {Stapenhorst, Carolin and Zabek, Magdalena and Hildebrand, Linda}, title = {Communication process and information flow in the architectural planning context}, series = {Creativity game : theory and practice of spatial planning}, journal = {Creativity game : theory and practice of spatial planning}, number = {6}, publisher = {University of Ljubljana}, address = {Ljubljana}, doi = {10.15292/IU-CG.2018.06.066-073}, pages = {66 -- 73}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Against the background of growing data in everyday life, data processing tools become more powerful to deal with the increasing complexity in building design.

This co-operation is sometimes made more difficult by the differences in their disciplinary languages and approaches. Structures are evaluated by architects on the basis of criteria such as spatial impact and usability, while civil engineers analyze them more closely by their bearing and deformation properties, as well as by constructive aspects. This diversity of assessment criteria and approaches is often continued in both academic disciplines in the view on structures. Within the framework of the Exploratory Teaching Space (ETS), a funding program to improve teaching at RWTH Aachen University and to promote new teaching concepts, a project was carried out jointly by the Junior Professorship of Tool-Culture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Institute of Structural Concrete at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The aim of the project is to present buildings in such a way that the differences in perception between architects and civil engineers are reduced and the common understanding is promoted. The project develops a database, which contains a collection of striking buildings from Aachen and the surrounding area. The buildings are categorized according to terms that come from both disciplinary areas. The collection can be freely explored or crossed through learning trails. The medium of film plays a special role in presenting the buildings. The buildings are assigned to different categories of load bearing structures as linear, planar and spatial structures, and further to different types of material, functional programs and spatial characteristics. Since the buildings are located in the direct vicinity of Aachen, they can be visited by the students. This makes them more sensitive to their environment. Intrinsic motivation, as well as implicit learning is encouraged. The paper will provide a detailed report of the project, its implementation, the feedback of the students and the plans for further development.}, language = {en} } @article{Naujokat2002, author = {Naujokat, Anke}, title = {Aachen: Colourdome}, series = {Bauwelt. 93 (2002), H. 37}, journal = {Bauwelt. 93 (2002), H. 37}, isbn = {0931-6590}, pages = {2}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MatchaQuasten2009, author = {Matcha, Heike and Quasten, Gero}, title = {A Parametric-Typological Tool: More Diversity for Mass Produced Single Family Homes Through Parametrized Design and Customized Mass Production}, series = {Computation: The New Realm of Architectural Design [27th eCAADe Conference Proceedings}, booktitle = {Computation: The New Realm of Architectural Design [27th eCAADe Conference Proceedings}, isbn = {978-0-9541183-8-9}, pages = {409 -- 416}, year = {2009}, language = {en} }
