INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR LOW-ENERGY BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : LUTE P. J., PAASSEN D. H. C. van

Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS A PROPOSAL FOR AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR THE CONTROL OF LIGHTING, VENTILATION, AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE OF LOW-ENERGY BUILDINGS. IT ALSO PRESENTS RESULTS OF SIMULATIONS WITH THE PROPOSED CONTROL SYSTEM. THE LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS ACHIEVED BY USING THE OUTDOOR CLIMATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. SIMULATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE FOR 2 TYPES OF CLIMATE, MODERATE (UCCLE, BELGIUM) AND WARM (CARPENTRAS, FRANCE). THE PROPOSED INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM IS COMPARED WITH AN ON/OFF CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM SAVES ENERGY AND PROVIDES A GOOD INDOOR CLIMATE. IN MODERATE CLIMATES, THIS CAN ALMOST BE ACHIEVED WITH ONLY PASSIVE COMPONENTS. IN WARMER CLIMATES, OVERHEATING OCCURS DURING THE SUMMER BECAUSE OF THE OUTDOOR CLIMATE.
