The German Weather Service (DWD) releases a heat warning, when the weather forecast provides a warm, humid, sunny, and windless weather condition during the next days. The heat stress is calculated by the so called Klima-Michel model. If the apparent air temperature exceeds ca. 32°C / 38°C, there is a strong / extreme heat stress. The smallest forecast area is each administrative district. As people (and especially the vulnerable population) stay most of the time indoors, the heat health warning system was extended by the prediction of heat stress in typical rooms. Therewith it is feasible to forecast the heat stress using a combination of the outdoor and indoor heat stress. The prediction for the indoor heat stress is based on the same weather forecast like the Heat Health Warning Systems (HHWS).and calculates the heat stress by the PMV-model (predicted mean vote). Based on a sophisticated data analysis and simulation study, realistic but summer-critical living situations were defined and implemented in the building simulation program ESP-r. As the simulation runs especially for extreme weather conditions, a simplified building model cannot be used. Standardized input/output routines and an adaptive handover of start values provide for short run times for each forecast area. Good building designs and urban planning provide effective measures to reduce heat stress in cities. However, we have to also pay attention to the present building stock under climate change and a higher heat-wave risk. The extended German HHWS provide information for the emergency services to support the social assistants during heat waves.
This study presents some results from a monitoring project with night ventilation and earthto-air heat exchanger. Both techniques refer to air-based low-energy cooling. As these technologies are limited to specific boundary conditions (e.g. moderate summer climate, low temperatures during night, or low ground temperatures, respectively), water-based low-energy cooling may be preferred in many projects. A comparison of the night-ventilated building with a ground-cooled building shows major differences in both concepts.
Unter dem europäischen Programm Intelligent Energy for Europe (IEE) fanden sich acht europäische Partner zusammen, um im Rahmen des Projektes ThermCo Lüftungs‐ und Kühlenergiekonzepte für Nichtwohngebäude mit niedrigem Energieeinsatz im Hinblick auf die Energieeffizienz und den thermischen Raumkomfort zu bewerten. Die Analyse erfolgte auf Basis von detaillierten Langzeitmessungen über ein Betriebsjahr in acht Demonstrationsgebäuden in unterschiedlichen klimatischen Zonen Europas und einer standardisierten Datenauswertung. Im Quervergleich aller acht Gebäude werden die Kühlkonzepte gleichermaßen nach dem thermischen Kühlenergiebezug, dem thermischen Raumkomfort und dem Primärenergieeinsatz für die technische Gebäudeausrüstung und die Beleuchtung bewertet. Ein Energiekonzept ist erst dann zufriedenstellend, wenn mit möglichst geringem Energieeinsatz und bei hoher Anlageneffizienz ein guter thermischer Raumkomfort zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann. Mit entsprechenden Gebäudesignaturen werden diese Parameter in einen Zusammenhang gebracht und die Zielstellung überprüft. Detaillierte Komfortuntersuchungen nach der europäischen Komfortnorm DIN EN 15251:2007‐08 geben Hinweise auf die Wirksamkeit der eingesetzten Kühltechnologien in den jeweiligen Klimazonen. Daraus lassen sich Handlungsempfehlungen ableiten.
Buildings that are cooled and, if applicable, heated by thermo-active building systems (TABS) in combination with environmental energy have been established in the market during the last years. Many successful and efficient examples prove, that these systems can achieve a good thermal room comfort with a high energy efficiency of the plant system using environmental energy (mainly surface-near geothermal energy). However, operating experience and a systematic evaluation of several building projects demonstrate that there is potential improvement in the design, implementation, and operation of TABS systems. The article presents operating experience and a detailed evaluation of the operation performance of several non-residential buildings with thermo-active building systems with respect to thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
Energy consumption for cooling is growing dramatically. In the last years, electricity peak consumption grew significantly, switching from winter to summer in many EU countries. This is endangering the stability of electricity grids. This article outlines a comprehensive analysis of an office building performances in terms of energy consumption and thermal comfort (in accordance with static – ISO 7730:2005 – and adaptive thermal comfort criteria – EN 15251:2007 –) related to different cooling concepts in six different European climate zones. The work is based on a series of dynamic simulations carried out in the Trnsys 17 environment for a typical office building. The simulation study was accomplished for five cooling technologies: natural ventilation (NV), mechanical night ventilation (MV), fan-coils (FC), suspended ceiling panels (SCP), and concrete core conditioning (CCC) applied in Stockholm, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Milan, Rome, and Palermo. Under this premise, the authors propose a methodology for the evaluation of the cooling concepts taking into account both, thermal comfort and energy consumption.
Mit längerfristigen Nutzerbefragungen in zwei unmittelbar benachbarten Bürogebäuden in Freiburg wurden das Temperaturempfinden der Nutzer und deren Zufriedenheit mit dem thermischen Raumkomfort zweimal täglich erfasst. Ein Bürogebäude wird im Sommer mit einem maschinellen Nachtlüftungskonzept konditioniert und das zweite verfügt über eine Betonkerntemperierung und eine Zu‐ und Abluftanlage. Auf Basis der vorhandenen Daten aus der Erhebung wurde mit Hilfe von Regressionsanalysen ein Modell zur Vorhersage der Komforttemperatur berechnet und mit den Modellen in DIN EN 15251 verglichen.

Mit Hilfe einer Simulationsstudie für ein typisches Bürogebäude wird das Potenzial unterschiedlicher Lüftungs‐ und Kühlstrategien unter Berücksichtigung von Energieeffizienz und Raumkomfort für verschiedene europäische Klimazonen bewertet. Die Ergebnisse weisen eine hohe Wirksamkeit von Nachtlüftungskonzepten im nord‐europäischen Sommerklima mit verhältnismäßig niedrigen Außentemperaturen nach. Im mitteleuropäischen Sommerklima bietet das Erdreich ein ausreichend niedriges Temperaturniveau für den effizienten Einsatz von wassergeführten Flächentemperiersystemen. Im südeuropäischen Sommerklima kann eine aktive Kühlung über Luft die hohen und schnell fluktuierenden Kühllasten effizient abführen.

In 35 deutschen und 7 europäischen Büro- und Verwaltungsgebäuden wurden auf Basis von Monitoringkampagnen über mehrere Betriebsjahre Raum- und Außentemperaturwerte in zeitlich hoher Auflösung erfasst und der thermische Raumkomfort im Sommer standardisiert nach der Komfortnorm DIN EN 15251:2007-08 detailliert ausgewertet. Ergänzt wird die Auswertung um Kurzzeitmesskampagnen über zwei sehr warme Wochen im Sommer in unsanierten bzw. teilsanierten Bürogebäuden, errichtet im Zeitraum von 1960 bis 1975. Die untersuchten Gebäude mit ihrem jeweiligen Kühlkonzept lassen sich in sechs Kategorien einteilen: ohne Kühlung, passive, luftgeführte und wassergeführte Kühlung sowie Mixed-mode-Kühlung und Vollklimatisierung. Im Quervergleich aller Gebäude werden die Kühlkonzepte gleichermaßen nach dem thermischen Raumkomfort und thermischen Kühlenergiebezug bewertet. Detaillierte Komfortuntersuchungen nach der Europäischen Komfortnorm DIN EN 15251:2007-08 geben Hinweise auf die Wirksamkeit der eingesetzten Kühltechnologien in den jeweiligen Klimazonen. Daraus lassen sich Handlungsempfehlungen für die Planungspraxis und den Gebäudebetrieb ableiten.
The energy system of the future will transform from the current centralised fossil based to a decentralised, clean, highly efficient, and intelligent network. This transformation will require innovative technologies and ideas like trigeneration and the crowd energy concept to pave the way ahead. Even though trigeneration systems are extremely energy efficient and can play a vital role in the energy system, turning around their deployment is hindered by various barriers. These barriers are theoretically analysed in a multiperspective approach and the role decentralised trigeneration systems can play in the crowd energy concept is highlighted. It is derived from an initial literature research that a multiperspective (technological, energy-economic, and user) analysis is necessary for realising the potential of trigeneration systems in a decentralised grid. And to experimentally quantify these issues we are setting up a microscale trigeneration lab at our institute and the motivation for this lab is also briefly introduced.
Since 2003, most European countries established heat health warning systems to alert the population to heat load. Heat health warning systems are based on predicted meteorological conditions outdoors. But the majority of the European population spends a substantial amount of time indoors, and indoor thermal conditions can differ substantially from outdoor conditions. The German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) extended the existing heat health warning system (HHWS) with a thermal building simulation model to consider heat load indoors. In this study, the thermal building simulation model is used to simulate a standardized building representing a modern nursing home, because elderly and sick people are most sensitive to heat stress. Different types of natural ventilation were simulated. Based on current and future test reference years, changes in the future heat load indoors were analyzed. Results show differences between the various ventilation options and the possibility to minimize the thermal heat stress during summer by using an appropriate ventilation method. Nighttime ventilation for indoor thermal comfort is most important. A fully opened window at nighttime and the 2-h ventilation in the morning and evening are more sufficient to avoid heat stress than a tilted window at nighttime and the 1-h ventilation in the morning and the evening. Especially the ventilation in the morning seems to be effective to keep the heat load indoors low. Comparing the results for the current and the future test reference years, an increase of heat stress on all ventilation types can be recognized.
The current methods used to assess the energy performance of ventilation devices do not consider all the aspects necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of decentralised ventilation concepts and can only be partially adapted to their needs. In order to improve the energy evaluation and to ensure the comparability of different systems, a calorimetric method was developed and implemented in test facilities for the evaluation of two decentralised devices: one equipped with a recuperative counter flow heat exchanger and one with a regenerative heat exchanger. This method, based on direct measurements of the heating load in an insulated test room, includes the effect of the electrical consumption of the fans on the energy performance of the ventilation devices. The calorimetric evaluation method was extended to a seasonal evaluation on the basis of a heating-degree-day method implemented for a warm, a cool and a moderate location in Europe: Athens, Strasbourg and Copenhagen. All the results are above 50% efficiency for both devices, even in Athens where the use of heat recovery ventilation is not usual.
The transformation of the building energy sector to a highly efficient, clean, decentralised and intelligent system requires innovative technologies like microscale trigeneration and thermally activated building structures (TABS) to pave the way ahead. The combination of such technologies however presents a scientific and engineering challenge. Scientific challenge in terms of developing optimal thermo-electric load management strategies based on overall energy system analysis and an engineering challenge in terms of implementing these strategies through process planning and control. Initial literature research has pointed out the need for a multiperspective analysis in a real life laboratory environment. To this effect an investigation is proposed wherein an analytical model of a microscale trigeneration system integrated with TABS will be developed and compared with a real life test-rig corresponding to building management systems. Data from the experimental analysis will be used to develop control algorithms using model predictive control for achieving the thermal comfort of occupants in the most energy efficient and grid reactive manner. The scope of this work encompasses adsorption cooling based microscale trigeneration systems and their deployment in residential and light commercial buildings.

Passive solar elements for both direct and indirect gains, are systems used to maintain a comfortable living environment while saving energy, especially in the building energy retrofit and adaptation process. Sunspaces, thermal mass and glazing area and orientation have been often used in the past to guarantee adequate indoor conditions when mechanical devices were not available. After a period of neglect, nowadays they are again considered as appropriate systems to help face environmental issues in the building sector, and both international and national legislation takes into consideration the possibility of including them in the building planning tools, also providing economic incentives. Their proper design needs dynamic simulation, often difficult to perform and time consuming. Moreover, results generally suffer from several uncertainties, so quasi steady-state procedures are often used in everyday practice with good results, but some corrections are still needed. In this paper, a comparative analysis of different solutions for the construction of verandas in an existing building is presented, following the procedure provided by the slightly modified and improved Standard EN ISO 13790:2008. Advantages and disadvantages of different configurations considering thermal insulation, windows typology and mechanical ventilation systems are discussed and a general intervention strategy is proposed. The aim is to highlight the possibility of using sunspaces in order to increase the efficiency of the existing building stock, considering ease of construction and economic viability.
