Simultaneity of PV electricity generation and heat pump electricity demand for different control strategies in the PEB use case EXCESS

Comparison of the electricity demand of heat pumps under different control strategies, simulated for the Austrian EXCESS demonstration building, in relation to the available PV generation on the façade for an average winter week in February. The building under investigation represents a use case in the IEA EBC Annex 83 project.

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.

Annex 81 Policy Package

Graphic representation of the policy package of measures developed in Annex 81 to promote Data-Driven Smart Buildings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Indoor air pollutants in residential housing

This figure illustrates possible indoor air pollutant sources in residential buildings.

Schematic illustration of the active overflow principle
