  2. 1. Design of Energy Efficient Buildings. Applied on HVAC Systems in Commercial Buildings

    Author : Lennart Jagemar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; simulations; economic analysis; energy efficiency; commercial;

    Abstract : A methodology for planning and design of energy efficient buildings is presented and analysed. The starting point is the definition that energy efficiency is a question of minimizing the energy end-use within realistic economic frames and fully preserved function. The methodology is based on a systematic approach to the issue of energy efficiency. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ventilation System Design - A Fluid Dynamical Study with Focus on Demand Control

    Author : Andreas Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; variable airflows; pressure level; ventilation system design; HVAC design; variable air volume; pressure loss; VAV; demand control ventilation;

    Abstract : Ventilation corresponds to a large part of the total energy use of a building and a lot of attention has been paid to how to reduce this energy use. However, much of this work on saving energy has been focused on reduction of the airflows and how this in turn reduces the energy use. READ MORE

  5. 3. Air - for Health and Comfort, An Analysis of HVAC Systems' Performance in Theory and Practice

    Author : Fredrik Engdahl; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; indoor air quality; HVAC; infiltration; ventilation; VAV;

    Abstract : One part of the objective is to analyze how different ventilation systems perform in practice when it comes to supplying and exhausting designed air flow in different outdoor and indoor conditions. The other part is to analyze the design criterias and the energy use of a variable air volume system based on controlled static pressure at the branch duct level and supplying outdoor air only.

  6. 4. Performance-based design of ventilation systems. Potential and limitations regarding indoor air quality

    Author : Ragib Kadribegovic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ventilation; prescriptive design; indoor air quality; air cleaning; energy efficiency; performance-based design; recirculation;

    Abstract : It has been increasingly common to design for increased ventilation rates above legislative requirements specified in building codes and other norms as the most optimum way to improve indoor air quality. However, this concept has recently been challenged, for example, by studies demonstrating that the emissions or pollution from used traditional particle filters increases proportionally with air flow through the filter.

  7. 5. Demand based control of indoor climate in office buildings. Design of local and central feed-forward control systems for high comfort, low energy use and low peak power

    Author : Mattias Gruber; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; demand based control; IAQ; central control; local control; disturbance rejection; thermal climate; HVAC; energy efficiency; feed-forward; Building services engineering; office buildings;

    Abstract : In this work, a number of novel strategies for controlling the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in office buildings have been designed and evaluated. The purpose of the control strategies is to improve the match between what is supplied by the HVAC-systems and what is required to achieve a desirable indoor climate in the building. READ MORE
