4 HVAC systems Electrical systems Control systems All parts of the building have to function together and must as a whole be fit to use for its purpose

5 All of those taking part in the planning and construction of new buildings and reconstructions the proprietor-client the architect the building designer the technical consultants the contractor 1. Must have some understanding of each others professional fields 2. Must have a mutual respect for each others professions 3. Must be aware of what is cause and what is effect when a building is designed and when it is in operation

6 Cause and effect The Outdoor climate The architectural and structural building design The requirements for indoor climate The emissions from the activities in the building

7 Cause and effect The Outdoor climate The architectual and structural building design The requirements for indoor climate The emissions from the acivities in the buliding Decide The heat deficite and its variation in individual rooms The heat suplus and its variation in individual rooms The amount of air born pollutants to be removed

8 The Outdoor climate Cause and effect The architectual and structural building design The requirements for indoor climate The emissions from the acivities in the buliding Decide The heat deficite and its variation in individual rooms The heat suplus and its variation in individual rooms The amount of air born pollutants to be removed And by that The measures needed for ensuring the indoor climate Capacity, extent, complexity of the systems for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Cooling

12 The Building Envelope

13 Energy efficient buildings: Success aspects: Careful planning and design Use wellknown basic technology: Good thermal insulation in the building envelope Reduce thermal bridges Well insulated windows Very good air-tightness of the building envelope Well designed heating and ventilations systems inlc. heat recovery High quality of control systems in order to make use of internal gains and solar heat gains

14 Energy efficient buildings: Success aspects: Careful comissioning, continuing maintenance Measuring air-, water- and energy-flows Energy efficient white gods (A-Class at least) Use of solar heat gain: Limited glasing areas facing south Solar protecting during summer season Solar collectors for covering at least 50% of domestic hot water PV-cells for creating an image Qality control

15 Energy efficient buildings: Success aspects: Good thermal insulation: S-houses Apartments External walls >35 cm >30 cm Roofs >50 cm >40 cm Foundations >20 cm >20 cm Windows, U< 1,0 U< 1,0 W/(m 2 K)

16 Traditional External Walls Brick walls Lightweight Blocks

17 New Building Design: Each material has a special function

18 Example: Design of a Factory made house

19 Foof element 500 mm Mineral wool, U=0,116 W/m 2.K.

20 Advantages of improved windows Reduce heat losses Shorten heating season Improve thermal comfort Reduce risk for surface condensation Improve sound insulation More efficient use of floor area

21 Maximum window height if cold draught should be avoided 215 cm at 5 o C 175 cm at 10 o C 70 cm at 5 o C 60 cm at 10 o C 45 cm at 20 o C 110 cm at 5 o C 85 cm at 10 o C 65 cm at 20 o C 130 cm at 20 o C two glass window three glass window Energy efficient window

22 Some definitions: Airtightness Prevent air from penetrating through building envelope Wind protection Prevent air movement in insulation layers caused by wind Vapour barrier Prevent vapour from entering building element

23 Airtight Buildings Reduce infiltration of unwanted air from outside energy efficient Reduce the risk for draught Prevent moisture damages due to moisture convection Improve the performance of mechanical ventilation systems Reduce traffic noise from outside

25 Make a pressurization test in all apartments. Combine with thermografy. Good airtightness is often good building quality

26 Build tight and ventilate right A building can never be too airtight!!

27 Different Wind Protections in External Walls

28 Good design of connections: air-tight and good edge insulation

29 The length of thermal bridges can be up to 2.5 km in ordinary building with 34 apartments! The extra heat losses corresponds to about 10 kwh/m 2 and cause cold floors

30 Kv Jöns Ols i Lund energy efficient, wellknown technology, cost-effective A Building with 34 apartments Traditional concrete structure, with lightweight external walls Measured, delivered energy 84 kwh/m 2 incl heating and ventilation, domestic hot water, household electricity and auxilary electricity (less than 50 % compared to other newly built apartment buildings in Sweden)

31 It is possible to build sustainable and very energy efficient houses and to achieve very good comfortable indoor climate to reasonable costs by using well aproven technologies.

36 Demands Specification of demands The demands must be specified before starting the design The demands must be expressed by measurable quantities. The method of measuring should be defined. The responsibility for fulfilling the demands should be defined. Consequence analysis The client should be made aware of and accept the consequences of the demands on: o First cost o Space required o Operation costs o Service and management

47 The ventilation and air-conditioning may have one of the following main purposes 1. To remove air borne pollutants in order to ensure Air Quality 2. To remove heat surplus in order to avoid too high room temperatures 3. To compensate safety ventilation exhaust ventilated hoods, safety cabinets 4. To establish a high cleanness level pharmaceutic industry, microelectronics, clean rooms

49 Energy efficiency

50 Energiy efficiency 1. The function of the building must not be jeopardized by the measures taken for energy saving. 2 There must be a balance between the resources sacrified for energy saving and the real total energy gain

51 Energy efficiency Very energy efficient new buildings with very low need of energy implies a limited increase in the total need of energy The extensiv need of energy in the building sector can only be decreased by energy saving measures in the existing stock

52 Measures for improved energi efficiency Existing buildings Existing residential buildnings decrease heat losses building envelope, heat rcovery make the heat supply and the heating system more efficient chose energy efficient domestic lighting and efficient domestic equipment Existing nonresidential and commercial buildings improve the operation of the HVAC systems replace HVAC components and systems replace lighting systems take every possible step for decreased heat surplus

53 From both global perspective and building sector perspective a decreased environmental impact from energy use in buildings is the main challenge for property owners, building designers building contractors
