Products and Process Modeling in Cx: A Significant Challenge for Digital-Cx
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In the next decade, digitalization of commissioning (Cx) is likely to be a key advance, in the field of AEC. This requires that as much of what we do manually, through word processing and spreadsheets can be done through ...
Ultra-Thin, Energy Efficient Facades- A Contradiction in Terms?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Within the European Union about 40 percent of the energy is consumed in buildings. In Germany roughly a quarter of the primary energy demand is used for the heating of buildings. A detailed analysis reveals that more than ...
Development of an Information Flow Mechanism for Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The present paper proposes a new information flow mechanism for commissioning and develops tools to make the proposed information flow mechanism feasible. Although many technical tools have been developed in order to reduce ...
Energy-Optimised Building- Experience and Future Perspectives from a Demonstration Programme in Germany
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In 1995, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology launched an intensive research and demonstration programme on energy-optimised construction of new buildings as well as retrofitting the building stock. ...
An Innovative Approach Towards National Peak Load Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
An innovative approach was developed and implemented in eight governmental buildings to reduce their load during the peak demand hours in summer of 2007. The innovative approach implemented in these buildings included ...
Energy Savings and Comfort Improvements through Plant- and Operating mode Optimisation Demonstrated by Means of Project Examples
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
More than 40 percent of Europe's primary energy is required for conditioning of buildings. By improving energy efficiency, approximately 30 percent of this energy could be saved. Energy counts for 35 percent of the operating ...
Practical Experiences with the Implementation of the Energy Performance Buildings Directive in Central Europe
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
European Parliament and the council announced on 16 December 2002, the Directive 2002/91/EC (Energy Performance Building Directive, EPBD). The European countries were asked to implement the EPBD within a time period of 3 ...
Connecting Stakeholders, Achieving Green
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
If Green is gold, why is progress so slow? The public understanding of Green is evolving. Standards are being developed, but there is still much work to be done. Achieving Green is difficult. Necessary conditions include:
•A ...
Synergy Between Building Rating Systems and Design Methodology for Intelligent and Green Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
There is a strong need for more efficient and more sustainable buildings. At present it is difficult to define the performance of buildings in an objective way to efficiency and sustainability. Goal of this project is to ...
Low Energy Office: Design and Evaluation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The new government building with ca. 14.000 m2 gross floor area in Innsbruck/Tirol was designed as a low energy office building.
As little technical installations as possible and as much room comfort as achievable: These ...
