Clima 2010 Workshop 8
Automated solar shading, a necessary instrument for optimum HVAC design in a holistic approach
Sponsor
ES-SO
Organiser
Emeric Motte
Scope of the workshop
Reaching ambitious targets of energy consumption in buildings while providing a good indoor environmental quality makes it necessary for HVAC engineers to take into consideration the benefits that other systems can provide. Managing dynamically heat and natural light gains through windows with automated solar shadings has a direct impact on heating and cooling peak loads, thus on sizing the equipment, as well as on the energy consumption of those installations. It may even have an impact on the technology of the thermodynamic systems. It requires that designers in many fields (architect, façade, HVAC, lighting …) collaborate from the early beginning of the project and share tools to optimize the performance of every system in interaction with the others.
Who should attend :
Property Managers, Architects, HVAC Engineers & Consultants
What are the expected results :
Presentation and discussion on another way to reduce energy consumption while improving comfort
Tentative program :
Chair : Dick de LEEUW, Deleeuw Ltd
1. Energy transfer through windows – E. MOTTE, Somfy
2. Technical characteristics of fabrics for vertical roller blinds – P. WINTERS, Dickson
3. Impact on HVAC design and control – M. ALTAZIN, CIAT
Group discussion :
- Methodology and tools necessary for optimization
- Technological gaps to fill in to reach that objective - Business and social acceptability of this new design process
