ZEB/BiPV commercial building
Data
• Total building area approx . 11000 m2 of which 7,300 m2;
• Annual consumption not more than 84 kWh/m2 must
meet energy class A.
• The building is connected to district heating plants ,
power grids and also has its own production of electricity
in a solar system.
Solar System
• 203 m2 on the south and west facades, 27.2 kWp, 9
strings;
• The estimated annual production of approx. 18,000 kWh;
• Actual production in 2013 approx . 15,000 kWh. 15%
higher than simulated.

77. Methodology
Reconciling Adaptation, Mitigation and Sustainable Development for Cities
• Analysis conducted using ENVImet.
• Meteorological parameters, albedo of the surface and solid angle proportion.
• Outputs Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) to
evaluate the thermal stress affecting the body;
• Building geometry/orientation, vegetation elements, urban parks, and street canyons;
• Analysis of urban thermal comfort and impact assessment of climate change scenarios in
urban areas.

needs cooling in Jul and Aug.
In winter, there are 60 days in which minimum temp is below 10

• Solar analysis on DIVA for calculating the optimal
distance between the louvres: 75 cm
115. • Wind speed less than 5m/s Below 1.5m
• In summer the pressure difference of front and back side of the
building has to be about 2 Pa to ensure enough natural ventilation
• In winter the pressure difference of front and back side of the
building has to be less than 5 Pa (except for the first row of the
buildings towards wind)

Goals
– Reduces the overheating effects,
resulting in the reduction of the heating
load
– Filter the pollution from the air
– Reduce local air and ground temperature
– Improve of the environmental comfort of
