1 IBPSA Nordic 203 (Lund) 20 / 09 / 203 MODELLING THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF NIGHT-TIME VENTILATION QUASI-STEADY STATE CALCULATION METHOD EN ISO 3790 Jérôme LE DRÉAU Per HEISELBERG, Rasmus JENSEN, Ayser SELMAN What is the goal of night-time ventilation? o Achieve thermal comfort during the transition/summer season o Avoid the use of mechanical cooling system Principle: making use of the exposed thermal mass o The building structure is cooled down overnight with relatively cold outdoor air o Heat sink available during the occupied period of the next day 2

2 Problem: How to take into consideration the dynamic effects of night-time ventilation in the monthly calculation method? Plan: Principle of the calculation method o Cooling need in EN ISO 3790 o Methods tested for modelling night-time ventilation Development of the correction coefficients o Presentation of the simulation cases o Results Selection & Validation of the correction factors (not included in the paper) 3 PRINCIPLE OF THE CALCULATION METHOD 4 2

3 How is calculated the cooling need in EN ISO 3790? Solar heat gains Ventilation Internal heat gains Transmission Monthly heat balance, = + η [0; ] + 5 Why do we need correction coefficients? 6 Cooling consumption (kwh/m² per year) BSim - 2 zones Monthly basic 0 No NTV 3 ACH 5 ACH 7 ACH 9 ACH Þ Overestimation of the capacity of NTV without correction coefficients limited heat storage capacity (function of the thermal mass) limited temperature variation in the building (from 20 C to 26 C) 6 3
