Concept 2226, A New High Performance Office Building Without Mechanical Heating,Cooling And Ventilation Devices

Nowadays building simulation tools have been proven to be very effective in the planning process of building projects to find optimal solutions for the buiding design. This paper has the goal to compare the simulation results and the measured data of the highly innovative office  building named "2226" in Austria. Extensive research work has been done by using thermal simulation and CFD simulation tools to optimise a novel high performance office building concept without mechanical devices for heating, cooling or ventilation.

The first objective of the paper is to illustrate the feasibility to use the thermal simulation software TRNSYS for optimising a novel strategy for building automation. The second objective is to compare results from the CO2 concentration of simulation tools to real measured data.
