High performance buildings

Description

The potential for optimizaton and integration is enormous in the building sector. In this course, we develop, optimize and integrate components and systems into high-performing, energy-efficient buildings. The CDIO framework is used to guide the development of new solutions to fulfill the performance criteria, either as stand-alone or integrated solutions. The course works with new solutions in: -Highly insulated building envelopes -Ventilation systems with efficient heat recovery and low electrical energy use -Windows, glazings and shadings with good energy and daylight balance -Building integrated heating and cooling systems that makes rational use of free heat gains, free cooling, and integrated heat storages -Grid-supportive systems and operation Based on the CDIO framework, the solutions are being thoroughly analyzed, optimized, and integrated into system products that both supports industrialization of the building sector and in turn benefits from industrialized production. The customer is the professional building industry rather than the occupant. The performance of the solutions are being assessed using advanced and detailed simulation tools, e.g. IDA ICE or similar. In the final report, the solutions are being put together and documented in a building. Not applicable together with: 11116
