2 Future maximum energy demand in The Danish Building Regulation 100 kwh/m² 80 kwh/m² 60 kwh/m² 40 kwh/m² 20 kwh/m² 0 kwh/m² BR ZEB

3 Zero Energy Buildings ZEB A ZEB is non grid connected building fully matching its annual energy needs/consumption by on-site generation fully based on renewables. Net ZEB A Net ZEB is a grid connected, energy efficient building that balances its total annual operating energy needs /consumption and associated carbon emissions by onsite feed-in credits. Focus of the on-site generation is matching the on-site load. Net ZE Cluster A Net ZE cluster is a network of buildings fulfilling the Net ZE definition not on the level of each building, but a cluster of buildings using the identical energy infrastructure. The clusters uses benefits from the economy of scale and levelling out the load and generation profiles of each building. Source: Per Heiselberg, Aalborg Universitet

27 Intelligent Glazed Facades - Conclusion Focus should not only be put on U-value g-values but on how the façade can change characteristic e.g. High U-value to low U-value High g-value to low g-value

28 Intelligent Glazed Facades - Discussion: Design process

29 Intelligent Glazed Facades - Discussion: Benefits & flaws These results show that modern office buildings which fulfil energy regulations from 2008, can minimize energy demand for building services by 76% by introducing dynamic façade technologies But a flaw in the technologies and the used control strategies will result in no energy savings!
