| Profile | zafh.net researches new technologies for the year-round use of renewable energies for cooling, heating and electricity production. Sustainable air-conditioning of buildings is a particularly innovative field of research as it involves the development of solar-thermal cooling machines, the use of near-surface geothermal technology as well as potential passive cooling. New information technology solutions for building automation, automatic adjustment control of systems and the management of energy enable the optimization of buildings and plants while they are being used. We develop simulation models that are useful not only in the planning phase but can also be used to monitor operation online in order to detect errors and to optimize automatic regulation. |
