1 Passive design and natural ventilation consequences for energy use and indoor air climate rne Førland-Larsen Green Building lliance/ arhus School of Engineering 1

2 By using a passive design concept, in combination with natural ventilation, low energy consumption is achievable in a Norwegian climate and context 2

3 ID ICE model for 4 zones for a passive design building with natural ventilation. Ventilation enter the building through openable louvre in the façade. West North zone Ventilation louvres East South zone

4 The heating energy demand increases with approximately 25 % - when climate is change from Bregenz to Oslo Climate. HVC (10m 3 /h) Passiv design + Passiv design + Oslo NTVENT NTVENT Bregenz Oslo kwh/m 2 year kwh/m 2 year kwh/m 2 year Net energy demand 1 pers/ 20m2 1 pers/ 20m2 1 pers/ 20m2 Heating 2,4 2,7 11,1 Domestic hot water (fixed value) HVC aux (fans) Lighting 15,7 15,7 15,7 Electric cooling 1,9 0 0 Equipment tenant 15,6 15,6 15,6 Total

5 High temperature during summertime decreases when climate is altered from Bregenz to Oslo climate. It is possible to have equal or lower temperature levels in Oslo climate Passiv design + Passiv design + NTVENT NTVENT Bregenz Oslo

6 Indoor temperature is sensitive to number of people pr. square meter. The possible range is from min. 10 m2 / person and upwards. ctive use of internal shading (tightly woven drape), is needed to secure temperature levels and glare. Indoor Climate 1 pers/ 20m2 1 pers/ 10m2 1 pers/ 10m2 No Shading No Shading Internal shading Max operative temperature o C - East and south o C 28,3 29,8 29,3 Max operative temperature o C - West and North o C 27,8 29,7 29,2 Number of hours above 26 o C - East and South h Number of hours above 26 o C - West and North h

7 Window airing intervals have to bee accepted. It is possible to optimize and reduce length of time interval for airing 1 person pr 20 m2 1 person pr 10 m2 7

8 Government demands for workplaces. Passive design + natural ventilation will probably fulfill temperature demands to workplaces. Natural ventilation challenges maximum demands on air velocity during airing intervals. Maximum 1 person pr. 10 m 2 Temperature interval o C Maximum temperature of 26 o C is exceeded 50 hours a year ir velocity will exceed 0,2 m/s during airing intervals? Risk of draught during airing intervals?

9 Specification in leasing contracts. Passive design + natural ventilation put demands on tenants, and specification in leasing contracts. Maximum 1 person pr. 10 m 2 Temperature interval o C Maximum temperature of 26 o C is exceeded 50 hours a year. Internal loads ca. 100 W person ir velocity will exceed 0,2 m/2 during airing intervals. Risk of draught during airing intervals

10 Passive design + natural ventilation concept will probably not be able to fulfill Norwegian energy regulation. Demands for airing/venting during nighttime increase calculated energy demand. n alternative strategy with morning airing/venting will reduce demand.

21 Mix mode design decreases venting intervals and frequency. 1 person pr 10 m2 1 person pr 20 m2 21

22 Investment cost relative to traditional HVC with cooling. Natural ventilation and mix mode ventilation releases investment resources. Resources may be used for alternative qualities in the building design. 10 m 3 /m 2 h 0% 30% 50% 70%
