Abstract:
The ECN group Renewable Energy in the Built Environment (ECN-DEGO) wasasked to upgrade the design of an office building in Alkmaar for small
starting enterprises in such a way that it would reflect some aspects of
renewable energy. Although the estimated annual energy consumption for
heating and cooling was in accordance with the Dutch regulations (Energy
Efficiency Standard), the comfort of the building was estimated to be poor,
because it lacked cooling or mechanical ventilation. ECN-DEGO issued an
advice consisting of 12 points, mainly concerned with decrease of
infiltration, decrease of thermal losses through the building envelope, and
decrease of electricity consumption. Two points, natural ventilation and
night cooling, had to be worked out into detail. These points resulted in a
(minor) change of the design: three 'chimneys' were added for the discharge
of the 'dirty' air of each floor, and heavier floors were projected to
increase the thermal mass. The measures will result in a lower energy
consumption (EP=1,79), and more comfort. 3 figs., 7 tabs., 4 refs.
