Analysis
Here you can find comparative performance and comfort analyses relating to different projects with which the central and specific issues concerning energy-optimised construction have been investigated. For this purpose, the large scientific database created from the many EnOB model projects is used to develop responses to highly specific and practically oriented issues concerning new-build schemes, refurbishments and optimisation of operations. A new aspect here is the analysis of costs and financial viability.
By means of inter-project and comparative performance and comfort analyses, the large scientific database derived from the many EnOB model projects is being used to develop answers to very specific and practical issues regarding new buildings and renovation projects. This analysis will enable the performance of various new buildings from the "EnBau" research area and several refurbishment projects from the "EnSan" research area to be compared with one another using energy consumption values.

There is a new subject focus, namely “Economic viability”, within the accompanying research on the EnOB model projects. Two academic groups at the Universities of Wuppertal and Karlsruhe are dealing with the interrelationships between construction costs, building usage costs and lifecycle costs, as well as the associated optimisation potential as regards minimised CO2 emissions.

There are many reasons why a high degree of satisfaction with one’s workplace is important and is perhaps even a decisive criterion for the quality of a building. Up until now, this subject has not been given much attention in practice, but has been monitored from a scientific viewpoint. Planners, investors and users of building projects are now beginning to focus more strongly on this ‘satisfaction’.

The analysis takes a look at the following aspects: How flexibly can the buildings be used when concrete core temperature control is deployed? How energy-efficient are the thermally inertial surface cooling and surface heating systems? What are the prerequisites for the concept to be economically viable? What level of comfort is actually achieved? Here, the analysis is based on scientific studies of various ENBau pilot projects in which the building performance was evaluated in detail during actual operation using long-term monitoring.
