Seminar Solenergi i stadsplanering / Solar Neighborhood Planning
May 2024 - PDF 4.66MB
By: Gamla Biskopshuset

Solar neighborhoods are communities prioritizing the exploitation of solar energy, with limited energy management systems. Buildings’ morphology and relations, building envelope and material features are designed to maximize the efficiency of passive and active solar strategies. Solar neighborhoods are characterized by a microclimate that enables adequate thermal and visual comfort, and high life standards, both indoors and outdoors.

Solar Cooling for the Sunbelt Regions
Highlights from Task 65 activities
April 2024 - PDF 2.03MB
By: Uli Jakob, Daniel Neyer, Manuel Ostheimer

What are the challenges?

  • The current trend shows, that energy needs for space cooling – almost entirely in the form of electricity – will more than triple between 2016 and 2050, driven mainly by the residential sector (2,000 TWh => 6,000 TWh)
  • Most of the projected growth in energy use for cooling is set to come from India, China and other emerging economies
  • Space cooling is set to overtake appliances and plug loads to become the single largest user of electricity in buildings (2015: 10%; 2050: 30%)

Renovate Europe Day, Brussels
October 2019

Several of the project’s partners were able to attend the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium for the Renovate Europe’s REDay 2019. This took place on Tuesday 8th October 2019. In addition to participating in round tables, presentations and discussions, several of the task’s case studies were also features as part of the REDay Exhibition, which stayed on display until the 11th October. This exhibition was a showcase of best practice renovation projects and programmes which can prove that energy renovation is not only possible, but already happening across the world. On the task’s part, we showcased Scottish renovated buildings as well as the work done in Villa Castelli, Italy, which is using 90% less energy. EURAC’s Daniel Herrera gave a presentation on the development of the ATLAS project database at the conference before the opening of the exhibition.

Abstract - A new building with 14 small flats is designed according to Passive House standard in Innsbruck, Austria. Heating and domestic hot water (DHW) supply are planned to be covered using direct electricity. Electric heaters are used for space heating, and electric boilers for DHW (one per flat). The whole south façade is covered with a Photovoltaic (PV) system of 27.3 kWp, aiming to cover as much as possible of the electricity needs. The idea was to keep the investments costs low, minimize the installation effort, eliminate the distribution losses, and increase the share of on-site renewable energy production using the available space in the façade [...]

Keynote Presentation at EuroSun 2018 on October 12, 2018 by Daniel Herrera.  Talk: Historic buildings are trademarks of many cities but they will only survive if maintained as living spaces. Finding conservation-compatible technologies will be crucial for the built heritage and the opportunities for solar energy integration are far more substantial than one might initially expect.

Abstract - At the moment hardly prefabricated façade modules with integrated building services are used for the thermal renovation of residential buildings. Within the frame of the national research project “Prefabricated façade elements with maximum integrated HVAC components and systems for the renovation of existing buildings” the potential for the intelligent renovation of existing buildings should be shown and new solutions should be developed. A highest possible level of prefabrication should minimize the required renovation time and avoid vacancy. In particular, the aim is also to find solutions which allow a direct interaction of the HVAC components in the building façade with the room behind [...]
