Monitoring and Evaluation of Renewable Heating and Cooling in a Multipurpose Building
Abstract
In order to demonstrate the potential of technical building equipment based on renewable energies in daily industrial operation as well as to generate planning information, the CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences monitored an innovative multifunctional building. Thermal energy for heating of the building is provided by two groundwatercoupled heat pumps. They feed the thermo-active structure of the building as well as the surface heating installations. Cooling is also driven by groundwater. In this case, the heat is also dissipated by the building´s thermo-active structure and surface heating installations. A very special feature of this building is its heating/cooling façade that combines the glazing function with heating and cooling through its piping-like structure.
