An advanced heat and electricity saving strategy for the regulation of hybrid ventilation systems with automatic night cooling (ventilative cooling),…
According to the International Energy Agency, buildings represent over one-third of total final energy consumption. Thus, a more sustainable future begins…
In recent years, as an alternative to continuous control with the use of standard analog automation signals (voltage or current), the Pulse Width Modulation…
Comfort and energy saving are two important concepts treated in current buildings in order to maintain a good air quality reducing the energy consumption.…
Thermal comfort improvement at the lowest energy consumption is a key issue when dealing with sustainability in buildings. An appropriate passive design is…
The most representative typology of residential buildings of Catalonia has been simulated in TRNSYS to evaluate the impact of both infiltration and natural…
The transformation of the building energy sector to a highly efficient, clean, decentralised and intelligent system requires innovative technologies like…
The control of heat losses, inwards/out, in nearly zero energy buildings is of high importance. The transmission losses through the building envelope are…
We conducted observations of wind velocity profiles above a high-density area in Tokyo, Japan, using a Doppler LIDAR system. Obtained data of the exponent…
With a tighter building envelope more minimal influences come into consideration. As how the thermal and hygrothermal properties of the materials may…
The objectives of Subtask 4 are to develop design and control strategies for energy efficient ventilation in residential buildings which ensure high indoor…
The objectives of Subtask 3 Modeling are to improve the understanding and develop prediction models on the impacts of outdoor pollutants, thermal…
First the Subtask will organize a literature survey and make researcher contacts to gather relevant data and existing knowledge on major pollutant sources…
Subtask 1 of IEA EBC Annex 68 will aim at defining the metrics to enable a proper consideration of both energy and IAQ benefit in building design and…
The overall objective of the IEA EBC Annex 68 is to provide scientific basis usable for optimal and practically applicable design and control strategies for…
In the frame of the European project called Bricker, a new prototype of single room ventilation with heat recovery has been developed. This new unit is…
The energy use in buildings is dependent on the choices made during the design, construction and renovation. The causes for these differences are, among…
Ventilation systems can save heat energy by using heat recovery, but consume electrical energy to power the fans. In practice, the energy efficiency of…
Ventilation technologies are the key aspects to reach the target of nearly zero energy buildings. From 1st January 2016 on ventilation units have to comply…
Conventional Displacement Ventilation (DV) system has been installed in an office of a Zero Energy Building (ZEB). Enhanced DV (EDV) system, consisting of…
