There is a growing trend for the use of thermo-active building systems (TABS) for the heating and cooling of buildings, because these systems are known to be very economical and efficient. However, their control is complicated due to the large thermal inertia, and their parameterization is time-consuming. With conventional TABS-control strategies, the required thermal comfort in buildings can often not be maintained, particularly if the internal heat sources are suddenly changed. This paper shows measurement results and evaluations of the operation of a novel adaptive and predictive calculation method, based on a multiple linear regression (AMLR) for the control of TABS. The measurement results are compared with the standard TABS strategy. The results show that the electrical pump energy could be reduced by more than 86%. Including the weather adjustment, it could be demonstrated that thermal energy savings of over 41% could be reached. In addition, the thermal comfort could be improved due to the possibility to specify mean room set-point temperatures. With the AMLR, comfort category I of the comfort norms ISO 7730 and DIN EN 15251 are observed in about 95% of occasions. With the standard TABS strategy, only about 24% are within category I.

The significant market growth of stationary electrical energy storage systems both for private and commercial applications has raised the question of battery lifetime under practical operation conditions. Here, we present a study of two 8 kWh lithium-ion battery (LIB) systems, each equipped with 14 lithium iron phosphate/graphite (LFP) single cells in different cell configurations. One system was based on a standard configuration with cells connected in series, including a cell-balancing system and a 48 V inverter. The other system featured a novel configuration of two stacks with a parallel connection of seven cells each, no cell-balancing system, and a 4 V inverter. The two systems were operated as part of a microgrid both in continuous cycling mode between 30% and 100% state of charge, and in solar-storage mode with day–night cycling. The aging characteristics in terms of capacity loss and internal resistance change in the cells were determined by disassembling the systems for regular checkups and characterizing the individual cells under well-defined laboratory conditions. As a main result, the two systems showed cell-averaged capacity losses of 18.6% and 21.4% for the serial and parallel configurations, respectively, after 2.5 years of operation with 810 (serial operation) and 881 (parallel operation) cumulated equivalent full cycles. This is significantly higher than the aging of a reference single cell cycled under laboratory conditions at 20 °C, which showed a capacity loss of only 10% after 1000 continuous full cycles.
Automation devices or automation stations (AS) take on the task of controlling, regulating, monitoring and, if necessary, optimising building systems and their system components (e.g. pumps, compressors, fans) based on recorded process variables. For this purpose, a wide range of control and regulation methods are used, starting with simple on/off controllers, through classic PID controllers, to higher-order controllers such as adaptive, model-predictive, knowledge-based or adaptive controllers.
Starting with a brief introduction to automation technology (Sect. 7.1), the chapter goes into the structure and functionality of the usual compact controllers using the application examples of solar thermal systems and heat pump systems (Sect. 7.2). Finally, the integration of system automation into a higher-level building automation system and into the building management system is described using specific application examples (Sect. 7.3).
This central book chapter now details the implementation of automation of solar domestic hot water systems, solar assisted building heating, rooms, solar cooling systems, heat pump heating systems, geothermal systems and thermally activated building component systems. Hydraulic and automation diagrams are used to explain how the automation of these systems works. A detailed insight into the engineering and technical interrelationships involved in the use of these systems, as well as the use of simulation tools, enables effective control and regulation. System characteristic curves and systematic procedures support the automation engineer in his tasks.
Ziel des Pilotprojektes EnMa-HAW ist die Erarbeitung und Erprobung technisch und organisatorisch übertragbarer Konzepte für ein automationsgestütztes Energiemanagement an allen Hochschulen für angewandte Wissenschaften im Land Baden-Württemberg. Das Energiemanagement wird technisch mittels Messtechnik, Datenerfassung, Datenspeicherung und Visualisierung umgesetzt und organisatorisch mit einem Energiezirkel in den Hochschulen verankert.
Building energy management systems (BEMSs), dedicated to sustainable buildings, may have additional duties, such as hosting efficient energy management systems (EMSs) algorithms. This duty can become crucial when operating renewable energy sources (RES) and eventual electric energy storage systems (ESSs). Sophisticated EMS approaches that aim to manage RES and ESSs in real time may need high computing capabilities that BEMSs typically cannot provide. This article addresses and validates a fuzzy logic-based EMS for the optimal management of photovoltaic (PV) systems with lead-acid ESSs using an edge computing technology. The proposed method is tested on a real smart grid prototype in comparison with a classical rule-based EMS for different weather conditions. The goal is to investigate the efficacy of islanding the building local network as a control command, along with ESS power control. The results show the implementation feasibility and performance of the fuzzy algorithm in the optimal management of ESSs in both operation modes: grid-connected and islanded modes.
Die Hochschule Offenburg begleitet seit Juli 2006 in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg und der HfT Stuttgart die Solar unterstützte Klimatisierung der Festo AG & Co. KG in Esslingen. Die Anlage wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsvorhabens Solarthermie-2000plus vom Bundesumweltministerium gefördert. Dabei wurde die bereits bestehende Adsorptionskälteanlage, die bisher mit Kompressorenabwärme und Gaskesseln betrieben wurde, durch eine Betriebsanalyse und energetische Bewertung einer solarthermischen Anlage zur Unterstützung der Kälteversorgung eines Büro- und Verwaltungsgebäudes Solaranlage als dritter Wärmelieferant ergänzt.
Über zwei Jahrzehnte hat sich an der Hochschule Offenburg eine Forschungsgruppe etabliert, die die beiden Bereiche Gebäudeautomation und nachhaltige Energietechnik zusammenführte. Anfangs ging es darum, Potentiale der internetbasierten Wetterprognostik und modell-basierten Anlagensteuerung für die Verbesserung des Komforts und der Energieeffizienz im Gebäude zu nutzen. Im Rahmen von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeiten mit Einsatz von dynamischen Gebäudesimulationen konnte ein Algorithmus gefunden werden, der es ermöglichte auf Basis von prognostizierter Außentemperatur und Sonneneinstrahlung den Energiebedarf eines Bürogebäudes für den Folgetag vorherzusagen. In Verbindung mit der Gebäudeautomation entstand so die adaptive und prädiktive TABS-Steuerung AMLR.

Der sommerliche Wärmeschutz von Schulgebäuden im Oberrheingraben und die Bereitstellung von Kühlenergie wurden bereits untersucht und finden Aufnahme im Leitfaden „Natürliche Gebäudeklimatisierung in Klassenzimmern des südlichen Oberrheins“. Im Rahmen der Arbeiten zur Minderung der sommerlichen Überhitzung wurde durch den Einbau und die damit verbundene kontinuierliche Aufzeichnung der CO2‐Konzentrationen der Raumluft festgestellt, dass besonders im Winterhalbjahr eine Verbesserung der Luftqualität erreicht werden muss.
