This project develops energy-efficient HVAC systems to enhance comfort and air quality in heritage townhouses, indicating sustainable renovation strategies.
The objective of this deliverbales is to develop energy-efficient HVAC systems optimizing comfort and IAQ in space and time: To develop smart HVAC concepts that safeguard the heritage value of townhouses and optimise comfort energy efficiency and IAQ based on sufficiency. To develop methods for sizing smart HVAC systems which integrate existing components with the aim to facilitate R²ES-based energy supply. To develop ventilation and conditioning strategies to remove moisture and mould built-up in historical constructions To develop methods for assessing the potential of ventilative cooling in heritage townhouses To develop simulation-based design guidelines for optimal holistic renovation of heritage townhouses, balancing their heritage value with envelope and HVAC interventions, reducing the design cost in future projects To demonstrate the methodology by developing a set of optimized holistic renovation concepts for the heritage case studies with quantified performance.
