3 Energy Efficiency - made in Germany 1. DIN V Holistic approach Method for planning and evaluation: DIN V (new Dec. 2011)

4 The challenge: simple or holistic approach

5 Holistic approach Facade: Sun protection system, daylight and cooling Table A4 Parameter a to assess the activation of manual or automatic movable sun protection structures for different surface dispositions inclination vertical Winter Summer North NE/NW East/West SE/SW South Evaluation solar gains January (g = 0,6 ; g Total = 0,15) South North Intensity of radiation (sun) I S 56 W/m² 14 W/m² I S * (g * (1-a) + g Total * a) 15,7 W/m² 8,4 W/m² g Evaluation solar gains July South North Intensity of radiation (sun) I S 135 W/m² 100 W/m² g Total I S * (g * (1-a) + g Total * a) 40 W/m² 60 W/m² Evaluation Daylight (DIN V ) year round (τ D65 = 0,74, E m =500 lx, D RB = good ) South North Daylight Supply Factor C TL,Vers 0,61 0,84

6 Sun protection and artificial lighting Activated sun protection The result: Artificial light in sunshine! Pictures: Eicke-Hennig, Institut für Bauen und Umwelt

17 Changes in DIN Part 4 (Dec 2011) - Overview Simplification of the process efficiency factor Description of a method for constant lighting control Addition to a net energy for lighting and expense figures for generation, distribution, transfer Complement of parameters and methods for LED lighting Description of a method for evaluation of (variable) Sun protection for skylights Complement of tools to capture lighting in existing systems (system performance based on the lamp power) Introduction of variable values, maintenance of lighting Jagnow 2011

19 LED technology LEDs have become an interesting alternative to low-voltage halogen lamps Duration of life hours Twice the light output Shockproof 1:1 replacement for existing systems Light change is possible Colour changes are possible

20 Why use simplified methods? Question: Why should we use a simplified method, while we could use a detailed simulation method with (if needed) simplified input? Answer: In particular in context of building regulations: Essential that a prescribed method is Verifiable Legally secure Plus: consensus on the details of the method needed Consequently: Important quality aspects are: Transparency Robustness Reproducibility This may hinder the choice of a detailed simulation tool Overview of advantages and disadvantages of different types of methods, depending on the application: Buildings Platform Information Paper P026 Legally secure (national) Enforceable Calculation Procedures Verifiable Credible, accurate Legally secure (EU) Consensus (national/ regional) Unambiguous, reproducible Robust Transparent (externally) Distinctive Erhorn / IBP Flexible Affordable and efficient Open to innovative technologies Transparent (internally)
