Autonomous Management System Developed for Building and District Levels (AMBASSADOR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

To solve the energy dilemma, research effort was concentrated on stand-alone buildings weakly tight to their immediate environment. Specifically in each building only key sub-systems were considered individually. Such individual systems were made more effective by becoming pervasive into any building area (the reign of “boxes” and “controllers”). Importing parameters from other sub-systems allowed ...

Resource- and Cost-effective integration of renewables in existing high-rise buildings (Cost-Effective)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The use of renewable energy in the building sector is today dominated by the application of solar domestic hot water and PV systems in single-family houses. In order to significantly increase the use of renewable energy in the building sector, concepts have to be developed for large buildings. In these buildings high fractions of the energy demand can only be met with renewable energy sources, whe ...
