An introduction to the analysis of metering data, the specification and limitations of the data and analysis techniques. Questions and Answer session. Feedback and questions from participants.

AGENDA (CET)

Introduction to discrete time and continuous time methods (CTSM-R) and models together with statistical tools. Combining two disciplines; building physics and mathematical techniques. Application to exercise using PSA data series 16, 17. An overview was given of applied data and analysis with CTSM-R.

AGENDA (CET)

Presenting the experimental set-up and measurement of the Plataforma Solar de Almeria data series 16, 17. An overview was given of available data and analysis topics, including brief examples. An exercise was proposed to study the analysis with and without solar radiation. Introduction to dynamic calculation methods and quick overview of the software tool LORD. The aim was to build confidence in analysis. As a training, an easy, conduction-only exercise with simulated data was proposed (result was given to the participants to gain confidence).

AGENDA (CET)

Introduction to dynamic calculation methods and analysis techniques for thermal characterisation of building components and performance assessment of buildings. Introduction to measured data, instrumentation and sensors in relation to building physics and energy performance. What is important to know?

AGENDA (CET)

Extensive research studies in many countries have found gaps between the design intent and real-world operation of buildings, which often lead to much higher energy use in practice than was estimated at design stage. While the reasons for such performance gaps are varied and complex, IEA Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) research projects have recently been making progress in resolving them.

The current development in building energy efficiency towards nZEB buildings represents a number of new challenges to design and construction. One of these major challenges is the increased need for cooling in these highly insulated and airtight buildings, which is not only present in the summer period but also in the shoulder seasons and in offices even in midwinter. Resilient ventilative cooling can be an energy efficient solution to address this cooling challenge in buildings.
