Titel
Energy optimised in theory and practice - The centre for sustainable building (ZUB)
Abstract
The process of developing environmentally friendly and sustainable building structures is an interdisciplinary task. Only with a close teamwork of people from different building related disciplines is it possible to face the challenge of solving the real life problems involved in an integral planning process. The construction of the ZUB is an example that shows what today's state of the art of low energy demand and sustainable building can look like. Planned as an example of a low energy building, the new office of about 1300 m2 is attached to an existing preserved building and consists of three different main parts: one for exhibitions and events, one for offices, and an experimental part for different kinds of research in innovative building techniques and building services. Part of the overall concept is the focus on the use of sustainable building materials. During a two and a half year long monitoring period, about 1300 data points have been recorded, the achieveme nts have been proven and optimisations based on the measurements have been made. Results and findings from the intense measurements are presented and compared with simulation results and with calculations from the planning. The project offers an opportunity to obtain actual proof and quantify the achievements of a good sustainable building, and to show today's possibilities of energy conservation design.
