Analysis of Energy and Internal Environment Improvements in a Single Family House

Article Preview

Abstract:

The next step in energy efficiency building design focus on near energy zero buildings. To design such buildings is important to understand how people use low energy building and to find reserves in energy. The paper presents an analysis of reserves in a family house. The analysis is done with simulations of different design and operation solutions based on knowledge from in situ measurements. Results show there are reserves in the heating and cooling period of year, which can lead to further energy savings of up to 15% and internal environment improvements.
