The main objective of the Task is to promote daylight-conscious building design with the aim of realising energy savings and visual comfort and amenity value of the building.
The bulletin presents a method for calculating the gross energy consumption of a building. The net heat demand for space heating, ventilation and domestic hot water should be calculated. Next
This project takes stock of experiences with often used ventilation systems for new housing with regard to energy efficiency, indoor climate, comfort, operation and maintenance and also assesses the
In accordance with its purposes the research project gives an account of how it is possible in addition to building improvements and presumable low maintenance costs, to achieve energy savings.
The purpose of the project is related to the rebuilding of existing buildings: - To develop an inventory tool for energy related environmental interventions. - To collect environmental life cycle data
New, super-insulating transparent and translucent glazing offers new pespectives for the use of glass in architecture. New facade idioms, spatial and light effects and low energy consumption may be
In the project, the consulting engineering companies Carl Bro A/S and Birch og Krogboe A/S have tested a prototype of SBI's integrated computer system for analyzing the energy and indoor climte
The aim has been to investigate and to develop thermally improved windows based on an evaluation of the energy balance of the window, i.e. the total influence of the window (heat loss and transmitted
In the project detailed programs for calculating the effect of thermal bridges in building envelope constructions have been validated by use of measurements and methods for calculating the total heat
The project concerns the development and testing of an energy saving and environmental friendly washing and drying unit based on recycling of the water and heat from the drying in the washing process.
The object of the program is to contribute to a continuous, efficient and target-group oriented dissemination of the results of the research programme: Use of energy in buildings.
The aim of the project is to achieve electricity savings through development of efficient heat recovery systems for houses. In this connection the central components are ventilators and exchangers
The purpose of this project is to reduce the total energy consumption in drying and washing processes by using vacuum and steam compression technology.
It is the aim of this project to continue the development of high efficiency oil boilers for domestic housing situated outside the collective energy supply (i.e. district heating and natural gas).
Natural or mechanical ventilation is often a hot issue when designing office buildings in connection with renovation. In 1996 NatVent, a major research project, on natural ventilation in office
The EPIQR (Energy Performance, Indoor environment Quality Retrofit) method makes it possible systematically to include analyses of cost and energy savings in the early phases of a renovation project.
The main objectives of OFFICE were to investigate the possibilities of applying passive retrofitting techniques in office buildings in order to improve their energy performance and indoor working
