1 15th INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE CONFERENCE IN THE ARAB COUNTRIES UNDER THE THEME: SMART MAINTENANCE CONICIDE WITH THE 15 TH ARAB MAINTENANCE EXHIBITION RFID SYSTEM FOR INTELLIGENT FACADES IN SOUTHERN COUNTRIES Dr.-Ing. Ayman Bishara

2 Outline Agenda Motivation RFID transponder system Model calibration and evaluation of measurements Conclusion 2

3 Motivation Energy consumption in Arabic region = 4 times the average one of the rest of the world (OAPEC 2015) 3

4 Heating energy consumption kwh/m 2 a Motivation Development of energy saving in Germany Energy saving: Environmental protection, CO2- reduction, reduction of operation costs building regulations, standards, EnEV`S solar buildings construction practice low energy buildings research, demonstration projects 3- liter houses zero heating buildings Plus energy houses 4

5 Motivation Performance and quality of External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) for sustainable buildings in the Arabic region Sofitel Hotel, JBR, Dubai Tallest tower to be insulated with ETICS. At 143 meters making sure the system would withstand all applied loads while maintaining architectural design was the biggest challenge (2007) 5

6 Conventional measuring system Previous (wired) measuring systems - High installation effort - High costs - Destructive measurement - Cause of thermal bridges We need an innovative measurement system. RFID measuring system - Intelligent construction - Material identification - Cost reduction - Quality intensification - Culture enhancement 6

19 Conclusion An innovative wireless transponder system (RFID) with integrated hygrothermal sensor has been developed. Using the RFID sensor system, the functionality of ETICS could be shown under hot climate conditions the system can be monitored permanently which contributes significantly to the prevention of structural damage. The optimization of the hygrothermal conditions using ETICS under hot climate conditions could be achieved. For the case study in UAE, the avoidance of moisture pentation from outside into the construction is key for a long-term damage-free ETICS system. ETICS has a big effect of significantly reducing heat flow through the outer wall under hot climatic conditions. 19
