1 GEOTABS: Grondgekoppelde warmtepompen gecombineerd met betonkernactivering in kantoorgebouwen Hernieuwbare energie voor gebouwen 13 september 2012 Jan Hoogmartens, Lieve Helsen K.U.Leuven, Department of Mechanical Engineering

2 Content Project introduction Reference case: Hollandsch Huys Results Conclusion 2

3 Introduction Why this project? Energy use in buildings = 40% of the total end use of energy in Europe About 80-90% of the energy used during a building s life-cycle is associated with the in-use phase large potential savings In office buildings: High comfort requirements (resulting in a significant cooling demand) Cost effective near-zero energy buildings The combination of thermally activated building systems (TABS), allowing both low temperature heating and high temperature cooling, and geothermal heat pumps (GEO-HP) IF!!! well designed and controlled!!! 3

4 Introduction 4

5 Project introduction Aim: To improve system design and control of GEO-HP- TAB systems in office buildings by using current practice, monitoring, comfort survey and simulation data 5
