Monitoring and Process Optimization the Willibald-Gluck-Gymnasium in Neumarkt (i.d.opf.)
Abstract
The newly constructed building of the Willibald-Gluck-Gymnasium in Neumarkt i.d. OPf. is a great example for integral planning of school buildings and enables the study of future-oriented technical and energy concepts. Within the scope of this Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy-funded research project and the participation in the accompanying research “Energieeffiziente Schulen” (EnEff:Schule), the building’s performance is being monitored and optimized to obtain and document verified insights about the system’s performance. Innovative operation strategies for educational buildings are developed and evaluated with respect to high energy efficiency and increasing consumption of self-produced electricity. Accordingly geothermics as a low temperature heat source combined with heat pumps are used for heating the school building and gym. The integral building concept unifies architectural ideas of alignment and shape of the building, a high quality and air-tight building shell with small heat transfer coefficients, and energy efficient building technology for heat and electric supply. Furthermore the available space is used optimally as an area collector is installed below the sports ground.
