Saving Heating and Cooling Energy by Sub-soil Conditioning of Supply Air at the German Museum of Technology | 2009 | English
International building legislation is setting stronger and stronger requirements for the energy performance of buildings.
The impact of cost-efficient measures on the performance of school buildings in South Africa - Two case studies | 2009 | English
In 2005 the first Energy Efficiency Plan for South Africa was developed by the Department of Mineralsand Energy. This plan sets the target for energy efficiency improvements of 12% until 2015.
Nocturnal natural ventilation for low and zero energy office buildings in Central Chile | 2009 | English
Office buildings in central Chile normally show higher cooling than heating energy demand.Overheating is a frequent problem in this type of buildings in cities like Valparaso and Santiago.Santiago (33S) presents a Mediterranean climate, with a hig
Calculation of the primary energy consumption of a supply and exhaust ventilation system with heat recovery in comparison to a demand-based (moisture-controlled) exhaust ventilation system | 2009 | English
Due to the increase in CO2 emissions and the resulting climate change more and more efforts aremade to reduce energy consumption.
It is well known that appropriate ventilation represents one of the prerequisites for achieving goodindoor comfort, and we try to ensure a continuous and sufficient intake of fresh air into a building.
From Single Buildings to Communities and Cities - Energy Efficiency in the Course of Time | 2009 | English
For quite a long time energy conservation and energy efficiency were concentrated on a singlebuilding approach.
Development of setting methods to control outdoor ventilation airflow rate in office buildings | 2009 | English
Ventilation is essential for the health and comfort of building occupants. It is particularly required todilute and/or remove pollutants emitted by occupants' metabolism and activities.
On the way to the solution of our energy-problems, the conditioning of buildings is the most importantsector.

Optimization of air tightness and night ventilation for Passive houses in Italian climates under Fanger and Adaptive comfort models | 2009 | English
In Central and Northern Europe several thousands homes conform to the Passivhaus standard havebeen built.
There is worldwide plea to reduce carbon emission. Several governments in East Asia recently have responded by setting higher indoor temperatures in summer.
Data-based mechanistic modelling of indoor temperature distributions based on energy input | 2009 | English
Energy used for building heating, ventilating and air conditioning contributes to a great share in thetotal energy consumption worldwide.
Due to increasing interest in indoor air quality and demand controlled ventilation in buildings aiming at energy and cost saving, as well as health and comfort aspects, the objective of our work has been the development of a reliable, low cost too
Comparing Energy Performance requirement levels among Member States of Europe (EU ASIEPI project) | 2009 | English
For outsiders, a national energy performance (EP) requirement level is quite a black box.
