Monitoring and analysis: Accompanying research for model projects
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. A new aspect here is the analysis of costs and financial viability. Find out more about the people and topics, methodology and scientific basis, the issues dealt with and the results of the accompanying research...
Accompanying research team: people and topics
Since September 2007, there has been a new team for inter-project analysis and research. The six-person research team headed by Professor Karsten Voss is responsible for accompanying the project teams from the new-build (EnBau) and renovation (EnSan) areas, as well as for analysing practice-relevant issues and their detailed scientific investigation. Find out here about the institutes and people involved and their areas of expertise and focus.
Materials used by the project teams
On the following page you will find a summary of the documents, checklists, forms and manuals used by the project teams. These documents are intended for use as part of the EnOB research initiative. This area is being updated continually.
Results and analyses
There are various analyses on the following topics as part of project-wide, comparative research:
Economic viability of energy-optimised buildings » Link
Workplace satisfaction and comfort » Link
Concrete-core temperature control » Link
All analyses » Link
Further selected results from EnOB research which have practical applications will be available here soon.
Building performance over the course of the year
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. Using energy consumption values, the performance of various new-build schemes and renovation projects from the EnOB research initiative will be compared with one another.

Detailed monitoring data on EnOB model projects
EnOB model projects regarding new buildings and refurbishment projects are subject to detailed monitoring over the course of a number of years in accordance with scientific criteria. In this way, the effectiveness and practical applicability of innovative concepts and technologies are investigated, which provides the basis for the optimisation of buildings in a targeted manner during operation.
The measured data forms a rich pool of information that can be used by many parties active in the area of research and development and by the planners of ambitious building projects.
The detailed data and time series from the EnOB model projects are stored in the EnOB database. The data collection already contains the results of the first projects, and is being extended continually.
