Simulation based control for Energy Efficiency building operation and maintenance (Energy IN TIME)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Buildings Operational stage represents 80% of building’s life-cycle cost of which 50% is consequence of the energy use. Up to 90% of the buildings’ life cycle carbon emissions occur during their operational phase, mainly as consequence of the HVAC, lighting and appliances’ energy use. Therefore, energy and cost saving strategies addressing this building operation phase will have a major impact in ...

Business Model Innovation for High Performance Buildings Supported by Whole Life Optimisation (UMBRELLA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"Due to barriers that exist in when considering the sustainability of the built environment, optimising energy efficiency in buildings is often a management issue and not one of design. In many cases, it is the organisation responsible for the building that makes the decision with respect to where best to invest their limited resources. For this reason, decision support tools, providing informat ...

Cost-Effective Tools for Better Indoor Environment in Retrofitted Energy Efficient Buildings (CETIEB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The refurbishing to an energy efficient standard leads to tight buildings (whole envelope: windows, walls, etc.) and affects the indoor climate. In case of refurbishing the inhabitants or users are not adapted to this new situation. Therefore the air exchange rates could be lower than required if no mechanical ventilation is installed or the system performance is not optimised. Then, in trying to ...
