1 Comparison of HVAC Technology in Buildings Conventional HVAC Technology Bauer Optimising Technology

2 The Differences Room environment (Occupant Comfort) Energy Consumption Architecture

3 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System BAUER Optimising Technology Short Circuit No short circuits between supply air and exhaust

4 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System BAUER Optimising Technology Directional Air flow creates drafts! Slow air movement Directional Air flow Nondirectional air flow

5 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System BAUER Optimising Technology High air movement on facades - upwards in summer, downwards in Winter Slow air movement Downward air flow high α 1 NO downward air flow small α i

6 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System BAUER Optimising Technology Temperature stratification and Temperature islands create uncomfort Max Temperature stratification of 0.5 K at any direction T e m p e r a t u r e s tr a ti Temperature islands f i c a ti o n

7 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System Noise, drafts and insufficient mixture create a uncomfortable environment BAUER Optimising Technology Homogenus air mixture and slow air movements create a comfortable environment Short Circuit Downward air flow high α 1 Directional Air flow T e m p e r a t u r e s tr NO downward air flow small α i NO short circuits Nondirectional air flow a ti Temperature islands f i c a ti o n NO Temperature islands

8 The Differences Occupant Comfort Energy Consumption Architecture

9 Energy Conventional HVAC Technology BAUER Optimising Technology Only a little Temperature difference between Supply air and Room temperature possible! Big Temperature difference possible. This results in a high Air volume to cover the necessary room energy demand. Therefore the Air volume may be reduced up to 60%. For that a high Fan driving power is necessary! Only very little driving power is used!

10 The Differences Occupant Comfort Energy Consumption Architecture

11 Air flows in a room Conventional HVAC System BAUER Optimising Technology Specific diffuser Simple air diffuser

12 Architecture Conventional HVAC Technology BAUER Optimising Technology Ducting and HVAC plant space reduce the usable space within a building Little requirements to air supply outlets Design!

13 Conclusion P o w e r Conventionell BaOpt Air volume The Energie consumption The Comfort & The Room environment The Architecture
