Abstract
This book intends to stimulate research in simulation of diffusion problems in building physics, by first providing an overview of mathematical models and numerical techniques such as the finite-difference and finite-element methods traditionally used in building simulation tools. Then, nonconventional methods such as reduced order models, boundary integral approaches and spectral methods are presented, which might be considered in the next generation of building-energy-simulation tools. The advantage of these methods includes the improvement of the numerical solution of diffusion phenomena, especially in large domains relevant to building energy performance analysis.
