1 September 2013 Passive House POLITEHNICA EAST Case Study The project was carried out under the National Research and Development Programme - Innovation 2008 of Romania. This project aimed to build a residential building under the Passive House concept adapted to the climate conditions in Romania.This case study outlines the east face of the building, that consist of two semi-detached dwellings. The estimated energy demand as scheduled in accordance with PHPP 2007 (programme developed by PHI - Darmstadt) is only 30,9 kwh/m 2 /y for heating the space to achieve the thermal comfort, and total consumption required 119 kwh/m 2 /y. 1

2 September 2013 Passive House POLITEHNICA EAST This case outlines a two family semi-detached houses according to the Passive House standard, adapted to the Romanian climate conditions. It was developed under the National R&D project INOVATION GENERAL Name: Passive House Politehnica East Owner: University Politehnica of Bucharest Designer: Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism.

4 GENERAL Passive House POLITEHNICA EAST BUILDING Name: Passive house Politehnica East Use: Laboratory Users: Students Completion year: New/Retrofit: New construction Type of ownership: Freehold (private) Building/community: It is a P+1 semi-detached building with rectangular shape, high compactness and shading elements farther away. 4

5 GENERAL BUILDING Building description: Window area on South façade 60 % from total glazed area Window area on East façade 26 % from total glazed area Window area on North façade 14 % from total glazed area Area and volume (m 2, m 3 ): Net floor area: 140 m 2 Gross floor area : 188 m 2 Heated area: 140 m 2 Cooled area: - Façade area: m 2 Glazed area: 32 m 2 Floor height: 3.10 m 2 Gross total volume: 435,3 m 3 What is special? The construction was built for a demonstrative purpose, for rise the users confidence in energy efficient systems for building sector. This building is particularly dedicated for laboratory works of IPB students. LOCATION Location: Bucharest, Romania Population: 2 milion inhabitants Site: Urban - Inside the campus of University Politehnica Local resources: There are no local energy resources: No exploitation system already available Water resources: No natural water resources 5

6 GENERAL CLIMATE Climate description: Humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification). Heating degree days (base temperature 12/20) : 2590 for a standard building Cooling degree days (base temperature 25) : 192 Mean annual temperature: 10,6 0 C Amount of global radiation per year: 1390 kwh/m 2 Minimum monthly average of radiation per day: 1,27 kwh/m 2 Maximum monthly average of radiation per day: 6,41 kwh/m 2 (Weather database: Meteonorm) ACTORS & AWARDS Owner: Polytechnica University of Bucharest Designers: Architects UAUIM, energy experts - ISPE Construction company: AGECOM Baia Mare Supporting actors: UTCB, ISOVER, Saint Gobain, Ytong, Lindab Awards: - 6

7 Concentratie CO2 (ppm) GENERAL Variatia CO2 (ppm) - 25 martie 2013 Timp IMPLEMENTATION Implementation process: Many sponsors were involved during the implementation process Some of the needed equipment was purchased from abroad Next time: Works to ensure shading during summer. USERS User behavior: The building has occasionally been used by students since January User feedback: An experiment was conducted to monitor the CO2 concentration during a 2-hour examination of 21 students to estimate the efficiency of the ventilation system. COMMISSIONNING Energy commissioning: There is no monitoring in terms of real energy consumption. Gap: Given the lack of funds there is no shading, so during summer, comfort temperature was often exceeded for a period of time. Comfort commissioning: The parameters monitored are: indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, soil temperature, humidity and CO 2 concentration. 7

8 DESIGN Passive House POLITEHNICA EAST DESIGN APPROACH Approach: Passive house design Goals: To achieve the Passive House energy consumptions Design methodology: A very reduced energy demand for heating / cooling with a very good building insulation, and use of RES energy. Motivation: Demonstration project Key points: Compact construction, use of solar gains, an efficient insulation. CONSTRUCTION Construction typology: Brick masonry with aerated concrete (Ytong) and ventilated facade. Daylighting: Daylight has been prioritized only in terms of dimensioning the window area, especially on the South façade. PASSIVE STRATEGIES Passive heating: good insulation, heat recovery ventilation, solar gain Passive cooling: good insulation, canadian well. A solar protection was designed but it wasn t implemented. No automated solar protection. 8

9 DESIGN (version2) DETAILS Façade: Ventilated façade, Ytong brick 25 cm + 30 cm ISOVER mineral wool + timber panels Werzalit - Southern façade, metal panels RUUKI Eastern and Northern façade U-value = 0,122 W/m 2 K - thermal bridges are included Roof: Ventilated and insulated with 40 cm ISOVER mineral wool covered with RUUKI metal panels U-value = 0,107 W/m 2 K - thermal bridges are included Ground floor: Parquet, OSB panel, lightly reinforced screed 5 cm, extruded polysterene foam 15 cm, ferroconcrete screed 12 cm, extruded polysterene foam 18 cm, lightly reinforced screed 5 cm.
