Combined building and plant simulation in real time
In a dynamic building simulation, the zones (rooms) are in contact with their surroundings and with the adjacent building components, the people, equipment and objects located in them. In the combined building and plant simulation, the dynamic interaction between building, plant and control is also taken into account. A building and plant simulation, adapted in real time to the actual weather conditions and current measurement data from the building, can help to optimize the control of the building services and thus reduce energy costs and increase user comfort.

Two Austrian demonstration building digital twin
In recent years, AEE INTEC has completed two projects for the development and initial implementation of a digital twin on real buildings in Austria. This digital twin is a detailed simulation model using IDA ICE software, which is compared in real time with measurement data from a real building. This creates a model that represents the real condition of the building and its building services at any given time. This model can then be used for automated fault detection or to optimize control systems. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and improve user comfort.

Visualisation of TCPs
After selecting a topic (in this example "Electricity transmission and distribution" was selected), this graph shows all tasks (activities) focussing on the selected topic. The topics are structured according to the IEA energy RD&D budget/expenditure statistics. Additionally, you can see the related Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs). Activities which had been ongoing in Summer 2020 from all IEA-TCPs are covered in this analysis. You can re-arrange the different bubbles to better meet the needs of your analysis. If a TCP consists of more than one task (activity), it also contains one entry in the database labelled “ExCo-Activities”.

Scope of Resilience Definition
This figure illustrates the chosen framework for assessing the resilience of buildings. The definition focuses on building scale, with consideration of heat waves and power outages for a period of the next 100 years.

Campus of the Johannes-Kepler university in Linz
A bird's eye view shows the potential of the university campus JKU. Many buildings from different construction ages can become much more efficient through thermal and electrical renovation. This also makes it easier to supply them with a local energy system based on renewable and combined heating and cooling, and to maintain critical functions even in difficult situations.

Process scheme for integrated Energy Master Planning that leads to a Resilient Energy System
How can we achieve resilient energy supply for buildings with critical infrastructure, based on renewable sources? Let us start with analysing the critical functions, assess the resilience, efficiency and sustainability of existing systems and add innovative and validated renewable energy sources as well as storage elements. This diagram shows you how to proceed.

Classification scheme for building stock energy models
The classification scheme establishes a flexible framework for high-level model classification that: (a) builds from existing classification frameworks while accounting for emerging simulation-based, data-driven, and hybrid modeling techniques; (b) recognizes the potential sub-layers of a building stock energy model; and (c) encourages the description of additional model dimensions that are not readily captured by a high-level classification.
