Measurement, Verification, Optimization
How well do non-residential buildings, which are often labelled ‘innovative’, ‘‘green’ or ‘intelligent’ in the ambitious early design phase really perform in everyday use? Do they perform as intended? What does really work? Research projects have shown: Many buildings fall well below their energy efficiency targets or do not meet user expectations. And often building owners and even the architects and engineers don’t even know about their buildings performance: Do they learn from their projects?
Measurement and verification have become an integrated part of commissioning for energy efficient buildings enabling engineers to significantly enhance building operations. Within the EnBop section of EnOB research and development projects are carried out developing new methodologies and tools to analyze and optimize building operation and applying them to innovative buildings and building services. The projects reach from commissioning guidelines for innovative systems to new software for automated analysis of buildings operations.
